Simply the stupidest error in the history of man kind! The cause of this is due to the person who installed it. So it’s human error, BUT, it’s human error caused by programmer error, because the logic of the programmer simply doesn’t make sense. When installing PeachTree the wizard asks for the location of the Company Files. It’s default location is something like this: c:\program files\sage software\peachtree\company. If you change this to your company, say SteveOH_Company, so that the new path for the company files is c:\program files\sage software\peachtree\SteveOH_Company, you will be in for a world of headache, heart ache and frustration. The ONLY solution is to uninstall peachtree completely, reinstall using ALL defaults. Then copying the company folder to the peachtree installation folder, so the final destination of our pretend company would be (or where ever you would like) and then opening the company from within PeachTree. Does it make sense? Nope.
I’ve come across this issue twice now, so I can vouch that it is in fact a problem and this is the solution. I can only assume it has something to do with some files that it throws into that default company folder and then uses for user access for the others, or maybe some kind of global settings / preferences / variables / etc. Who knows, but I’m sure not going to spend the $50 + $5 / minute to talk to PeachTree about it.
