Path ID

If Choose Path At Session Startup is cleared, click the path to use for this session.This path will be used automatically each time you open this session.

If you installed your InfoConnect products as standalone products and no paths appear in this list box, then no paths for this type of session exist in the InfoConnect database. Click Add to run the Add Path Wizard and create a path.

If you're sharing your InfoConnect products and no paths appear in this list box, the administrator might not have created paths for you, or you might have logged onto Windows using an unknown user name. (This name is case-sensitive.) Exit Accessory Manager and log on to Windows using the correct logon name, or contact your administrator about creating a path for you.
