Author	Topic: Accessing data from disks
MAII Member	posted 03-31-2001 06:19 AM I have just acquired a new computer. I have 8.0 installed and have successfully accessed data from my year 2001 backup disks from the old computer using the A drive. I also want to have my year 2000 files on the new computer. When I used the same procedure as I had with the 2001 files the screen comes up with the following message: "Put data disk in drive using file FNW80EN.ENT". I have no idea what this means and why I cannot simply put my year 2000 data disk in the A drive and access it in the same manner as I did for the year 2001 files for each of the entities I have. Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks. IP: Logged

If so you may not be able to get into any set of data including the sample data. Solution: In windows explorer, open the C:\Windows folder. Look for the file FNWIN.INI. Open it with notepad or some text fle editor(wordpad, etc). Search for the line "RecentFile1=X:\xxxx" Delete this line and the other lines with "RecentFile2="- "RecentFile9=" Save the file and exit notepad. Now try to open FN. Did this solve your problem? Are you running Windows 2000? Where was "RecentFile1=" pointing to? IP: Logged
