File Mode Setup

If you intend to run in File Mode:

  1. You must stay logged into the machine AT ALL TIMES.
  2. The ACEweb application file (VFP version: aw3.exe, SQL version: aw4.exe) must be running AT ALL TIMES.

    Recommendation: create a shortcut to the ACEweb application file and place it in the Windows Startup folder so it automatically starts whenever the machine is rebooted.

    VFP version: the application file is named aw3.exe.
    SQL version: the application file is named aw4.exe.

ACEweb User Account

The logged in user account (see #1 above) must have:

  • Full control of the Temp folder (as specified in the wc.ini).
  • Full control of the Windows > Temp folder.
  • Full control of the ACEweb folder (e.g. inetpub\aceweb) and all its subfolders.
  • Full control of the Wconnect folder and all its subfolders (e.g. inetpub\wwwroot\wconnect).
  • Full control of the Student Manager folder and all its subfolders, including gatecop and extend.
  • SQL Version: full control of the SQL database.

If ACEweb and Student Manager reside on the same server, you can use a local account.

However, if Student Manager or the SQL database reside on a different server, the logged in user account must be a domain-level account.
