<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Some network settings force a laptop users files to be moved to a network drive when connected to a Network. When the user logs off from the network these files are moved back to the Laptop. At least two problems can occur:<br /> <br /> 1) If the laptop is connecting using wireless if the wireless connection breaks, the files cannot be moved back.<br /> <br /> 2) If the user just closed the laptop lid without logging off from the network, again the files remain on the network are not moved back.<br /> <br /> For this reason there is a special &#039;laptop&#039; mode in ReportAssist that will force files to remain on the laptop...<br /> <br /> If ReportAssist is copied to the root of of the C: drive it will operate in Laptop mode.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery widths=550px heights=300px perrow=1&gt;<br /> laptop.png|If you have done this correctly then ReportAssist will report that it has detected it is running on a Laptop drive.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> In laptop mode all files are saved in &#039;C:\Documents\ReportAssist&#039;, this folder will be created if it doesn&#039;t exist.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s important that the person using the program has R/W access to that folder.<br /> <br /> If the teacher does not have R/W access to the root of the C: drive then they may need to install updates manually by downloading ReportAssist from our website and copying over the existing file in C:, they will be prompted by the operating system for permission or the computer&#039;s administrator password.</div>
