Manager Error 'Bad File name or Number'

Apr 26, 2005 2 Replies

I keep getting this message on one of my machines when I try to open manager. Admin and POS both open and operate fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.


Open Administrator and go to File/Configuration.

Check the Paths and Templates Tabs - you probably have an invalid path or filename in one of those fields. If you are using files shared on the network, you may not have permission to access the files or folders.

We had this problem at a customer and, according to MS support, this indicates a network or file sharing error. Like Glenn said, check network share permissions, but also check network settings, network ports, cables, etc. Our customer had made a change to their network switch/router which caused them to drop their connection.
