Hi guys,
last friday I finally got my IS people to load 2004 on my machine.
Ok first impression is it doesn't **look** much different.
Although our network Acad person has nothing set-up for 2004 so nothing is mapped, no profiles are made etc. fyi: we have an extensive use of profiles for 2002 for various clients, colortables etc...
So I map to out PC3 files to have a plotter or two and it works.
So i decide to import a 2002 profile. Note to self: don't do this!
It actually does work with exception of Menu's.
Being that 2004 out of the box is having many support files coming from
"Documents & settings" on your local drive. 2002 worked the normal way.
So, let us use the profile name of "buggy" I had buggy.arg from 2002.
buggy.arg resides on a server and is write protected by the users. the shortcut does the /p "network drive/buggy.arg" so if it doesn't exist locally, it will copy it down. I imported this into 2004. so buggy exists in 2004 and 2002.
However, when I go back to 2002 all my menu's are gone! I have reset them twice and they go bye bye. They only go bye bye after I open 2004. if I fice the menu's in 2002 and get in and out they will be fine. They only get messed up when I go back into 2004 in the buggy profile. So it seems that a profile cannot exist in the two systems w/ the same name.
I guess there is a conflict in the location of the menu file or something in the registry.
let me know if you have any ideas or needs more of an explanation.
Thanks,
Pieter
