Pastel,Win7 and email

[Martinco]

Hi Neville,

Not a code 116 error but something of interest................
Monday morning one of my workstations would not connect to the server via "network computers" but if I connect via the mapped drive I could see the Pastel files on the server.
Opening Pastel would not show the companies either, so to make a very long story of searching for the problem short I found that somehow some spyware found its way past my anti virus and was written into the startup programs in the registry.
I cannot remember the exact file name but in the startup in msconfig I found an entry with just a "'u". I followed this back and found the file written into the documents and settings folder that got loaded on startup and for some reason or other blocked the access to all the files on the server.
So.....just a suggestion if you have some "funnies". Check your msconfig startup and check for strange entries.
I actually googled the file and it came up as a spyware program, so watch out.

Hi Neville

I re registered the Server PC as a workstation, with the registration DIR on the NAS drive, and all seems to work fine now!

Thank you and best regards

Hi Andre,

Just wondering if you came right at all?

Hi, a user has two email accounts on her computer. How do I point pastel to the account she needs to email statements from?

Pastel will use whichever email account has been set as the default account in Outlook.

Thank you Neville for your response. It is not using the default account

Hi Neville to reiterate, the account that has been set as the default email account is not the one Pastel is sending from.
