Hi,

having just started to migrate to Uniface10, we have tried to keep Uniface development on a network share. I think I'll recommend that we start installing the development environment locally on every PC to get a faster programming experience.

However, still leaving the Uniface on a network share, I have tried moving the help-files locally to avoid the chm-helpfile network share problems. Is it possible to make Uniface understand that it should fetch the helpfiles from eg. C:\\temp\\u10help\\. 
 Uniface development environment Startpage has some links to the "ulibrary.chm" which don't work great as Uniface is installed on a network drive. Is it possible to tell Uniface10 development environment that it should fetch the chm help from a specific place on a local disk.

PS. I don't want an answer how to make chm-files work on a network share by doing some changes to the register etc., but would like to concentrate on moving the helpfiles to a specific local place.

I have tried the usyshelp and helpdir variables in ini-file with no luck.

Regards RogerW.

Hi RogerW,

In the \\common\\adm\\usys.asn you should find the following file assignment:

[FILES]
ulibrary.chm usysuniface:doc\\ulibrary.chm

Just change it to the new location:

[FILES]
ulibrary.chm C:\\temp\\u10help\\ulibrary.chm

And that should do the trick.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel,
for a quick answer.
And yes, that was of course the solution.
