Report file path keeps changing

I have the exact file path/folder I want selected in the print output for all of my programs, but it keeps changing on me. It seems to always default to the location of the previous program I ran, and I have to manually select the correct output folder each time I print the report. The filename and the index number, however, are always correct. It's just the destination that keeps changing. It does not change if I keep the same program open and run it multiple times. It only changes when I close the current program and open a new one. Does anyone else have this issue? I have a network drive selected as the output destination. Does that have anything to do with it?

  • Is your report folder on a server? Is the connection to the server consistent, or does it sometimes drop? If PC-DMIS can't find the path to the folder you've specified when it needs it, it will often pop up a prompt as you describe and default to the folder the running program is in. The solution is to either save the reports locally, or correct the connectivity problem.

    Newer versions of Windows have a tendency to "forget" about mapped drives, which could also cause this issue.
