Setting Up New Company
This System is designed to work with only
one company where the data of each financial year for the company is
stored in the hard disk. A new directory is created having less than or equal
to eight letters from each word of the company name. So a company named Armacourt
Communication Ltd. will have following directory for data files of financial
year 2003-2004 :
\Program Files\Program Directory\ACL\ eduadm1
and eduadm2. In the sub directory 'Program Directory' the program files and
base data files are installed. The name this directory is the same as the name
of the program. Files and their locations are automatically dealt with within
the program once you setup your company. The name of the company is used to
create the directory for data files, hence the name of the company can not be
changed without changing the directory name.
