Maximizer for Windows Cannot Find Databases (121230)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q121230 SYMPTOMS
After you install Maximizer for Windows 1.1 in Windows 95, it cannot find
its databases.
CAUSE
Maximizer for Windows does not recognize network paths that use the
universal naming convention (UNC).
NOTE: The following example illustrates the UNC. The UNC path for a shared
directory called SHARE on a server called TEST is \\Test\Share.
WORKAROUND
You can work around this problem with the following steps:
- Create a persistent connection to the machine that contains the
Maximizer databases.
- Open the MAXWIN.INI file and change
[Directory]
DBases=\\<MachineName>\<ShareName>\<PathName>
to
[Directory]
DBases=<x>:\<path to the Maximizer databases>
where <x>: is the drive letter specified in step 1.
MORE INFORMATION
Although this article discusses Maximizer for Windows, the workaround
provided can also be used for other applications that do not recognize UNC
names. However, it is helpful only if the application in question allows
you to designate the path (in an .INI file for example).
