| Issue:
When selecting the Peachtree Company ID in the Peachtree Link Setup, the drop down list is either blank or showing the incorrect Company Files. 
Cause: The Peachtree INI file for your installation of Peachtree is pointing to the incorrect DataPath. The DataPath should point to your network path if you are on a network installation of Peachtree. Solution: With each edition and version of Peachtree, there is a different ini file typically located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder in pre-2010 versions, and 32-bit Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Peach or for 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Peach. 1. Look for the [Lib] section, look for the line that reads: "DATAPATH=" 2. Copy this line, paste it below the existing line, and place a semicolon in front of the original line. 3. Change the new DataPath to point to your network location such as: "DATAPATH=P:\PEACHW" Below is a listing of known INI files ( From Peachtree KB ): Peachtree Filename Version 2015: Peachtree220.ini Version 2014: Peachtree210.ini Version 2013: Peachtree200.ini Version 2012: Peachtree190.ini Version 2011: Peachtree180.ini 2008 Peachtree Quantum - Accountants 2008 PTXA150.ini Peachtree Quantum 2008 PTX150.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Accountants' 2008 PPAA150.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Non-Profits 2008 PPAN150.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Manufacturing 2008 PPAM150.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Distribution 2008 PPAD150.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Construction 2008 PPAC150.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting 2008 PPA150.ini Peachtree Complete Accounting 2008 PCW150.ini Peachtree Pro Accounting 2008 PAW150.ini Peachtree First Accounting 2008 PFA150.ini 2007 Peachtree Quantum - Accountants' 2007 PTXA140.ini Peachtree Quantum 2007 PTX140.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Accountants' 2007 PPAA140.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Non-Profits 2007 PPAN140.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Manufacturing 2007 PPAM140.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Distribution 2007 PPAD140.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Construction 2007 PPAC140.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting 2007 PPA140.ini Peachtree Complete Accounting 2007 PCW140.ini Peachtree Pro Accounting 2007 PAW140.ini Peachtree First Accounting 2007 PFA140.ini 2006 Peachtree Premium Accounting - Accountants' 2006 PPAA130.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Non-Profits 2006 PPAN130.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Manufacturing 2006 PPAM130.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Distribution 2006 PPAD130.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting - Construction 2006 PPAC130.ini Peachtree Premium Accounting 2006 PPA130.ini Peachtree Complete Accounting 2006 PCW130.ini Peachtree Accounting 2006 PAW130.ini Peachtree First Accounting 2006 PFA130.ini ---- Please Note: If you have issues changing the DataPath, please contact Peachtree Technical Support and/or refer to the following Peachtree Article : How do I change the datapath and/or program path in Release 2004 and higher?

After the installation has completed (allow up to 45 minutes to complete), uncheck any boxes that are checked and click Finish. You have just installed Peachtree. If you were instructed to perform these steps on more than one computer, repeat the above instructions at each computer. If on a network, it is a good idea to make sure these other computers have proper mapping. If you are unsure, see a local support technician or your network administrator for assistance. If applicable: when you have finished, you may need to re-register your Peachtree. The latest tax service and updates related to Peachtree will also need to be reinstalled. |
