Company data folder name
Description
Cause
Resolution
  • If you have three or more words in your company name, the name of the data folder is:
    • The first three letters in the first word, plus
    • The first three letters in the second word, plus
    • The first two letters in the third word.
  • Examples:
    • Sage Software Group would be: sagsofgr
    • Ford Motor Company would be: formotco

 

  • If you have only two words in your company name, the name of the data folder is:
    • The first three letters of the first word, plus
    • The first five letters of the second word.
  • Examples:
    • Peachtree Software would be: peasoftw
    • General Motors would be: genmotor

  • If you have only one word in your company name, the first eight letters are used. If your whole company name is less than eight characters, it will use the whole name.
  • Examples:
    • Microsoft would be: microsof
    • Oracle would be: oracle

When a backup of an existing company is restored to a new folder instead of overwriting the original folder, the program will create a folder name that is similar but increments the last letter.

  • For example, if the company name is Sage Software Group, then the original folder name is sagsofgr.
  • If a backup was restored to a new company, the name of the new folder created would be sagsofgs. If repeated, the next folder created would be sagsofgt, then sagsofgu, etc.
  • What if the last letter begins with Z? Then the next to last letter begins to increment.
