All working fine now. Thanks again Jack.

Your the best Jack / ATX Supreme Guru. I wish ATX support was as savey and efficient as you. I will test out your instructions in the morning and let know. Thanks again

Hi, ATX 2013 is installed on a server with the server only option. The office computers are workstaion only. How do I set up print packets that were made on the ATX administrator account of one computer so that the preferences show on all the other computers/workstaions. It took me over an hour to make this custom packet. How can the other computers in the office get the customized packet settings that I made without having to do it from scratch on each computer? Thank you.

>>>You can change your client file and backup directories. The whole point of this post is that You can't change your client file and backup directories in ATX 2013. Read the above posts. You may say it can be done and the ATX instructions say so also but it is not working. This is not the first time ATX sends out faulty instructions and software, ATX 2012 was a mess for months when it first came out. So I do blame that manufactures because they get richer and we are left jumping through hoops trying to get this working properly. It is a known fact that software companies deliberately release software with known bugs just to meet their fiscal and financial deadlines. I am not here to argue. I am just stating what is occurring. Plus, After the unreliablity of the backup files integrity of ATX 2012, 2013 is already giving me the creeps. By the way, I do have a Raid setup. I have many ways to protect my data. I just expect my software to behave according to its instructions and that is not happening at the moment.

Thanks for the heads up, ATX Supreme Guru. The ATX 2012 and down install process is different from ATX 2013. I wanted to change the data file and backup location to keep everything in the same area where the other versions reside. It bugs me that I now have one program in a different location from all the other ones. All well, I always said we are slaves to the manufactures. In the end there is not much you can do about it. Quickbooks is another company that tends to keep people enslaved on the their software. One way is to force people to buy an upgrade or they will not provide support to you. I will will leave ATX 2013 as it is like you say. Funny how these Company's make millions and still give out faulty instuctions and software and We're stuck trying to figure it out. Thanks again.

I installed ATX 2013 on a server with the server only option that is given on the install disk. Then I installed the software on three computers with the workstation option from the server install menu on the install disk. When I try to chage the backup location and the data location from the admin account on one of the workstations, I get the "atx tax 2013 storage location may only be modified from server", notice from the change location section. Since there is no software to open on the server when you install it as server only, You are told to make any modifcations to the backup file location from one of the workstaions with admin privileges. Yet, I get the notice "Atx tax 2013 storage location may only be modified from server". How am I to modify the data and backup location from a workstation if it wont let me and the server side has no software console to open?
