000014 : How do I manually set up the ConnectIt options on the QuoteWerks Tools menu?

Created: 08 Aug 2007
Last Updated: 05 Jul 2012

Cause

The menu option should be added to QuoteWerks as part of the ConnectIt Registration process. Under certain conditions this is not possible – if the user does not have permission to edit the necessary file or the registry “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QuoteWerks\Version 4\” LastInstallationPath key value could not be found, for example.


Resolution

To manually add the menu options to QuoteWerks:

1. Close QuoteWerks.

2. Using Notepad or a similar text file editor, open the menuopts.add file in the QuoteWerks installation directory (by default C:\Program Files\QuoteWerks\ or this may be on a server in a multi-user environment, for example Q:\QuoteWerks\).

3. Edit the following lines, replacing the default “C:\Program Files” with “%ProgramFiles%”

-=
Create document in Sage=%ProgramFiles%\Hilltops IT\ConnectIt\ConnectIt.exe &DH_DocNo
Create product(s) in Sage=%ProgramFiles%\Hilltops IT\ConnectIt\CITProdWiz.exe &DH_DocNo
Create customer(s) in Sage=%ProgramFiles%\Hilltops IT\ConnectIt\CITCustWiz.exe &DH_DocNo
ConnectIt Offline Help=%ProgramFiles%\Hilltops IT\ConnectIt\Documentation
ConnectIt Online Help=http://www.ConnectIt-software.co.uk/support/

4. The whole file should now look like this:

[Menu]
Calculator=calc.exe
-=
NotePad=notepad.exe
-=
Create document in Sage=%ProgramFiles%\Hilltops IT\ConnectIt\ConnectIt.exe &DH_DocNo
Create product(s) in Sage=%ProgramFiles%\Hilltops IT\ConnectIt\CITProdWiz.exe &DH_DocNo
Create customer(s) in Sage=%ProgramFiles%\Hilltops IT\ConnectIt\CITCustWiz.exe &DH_DocNo
ConnectIt Offline Help=%ProgramFiles%\Hilltops IT\ConnectIt\Documentation
ConnectIt Online Help=http://www.ConnectIt-software.co.uk/support/

5. Save and close the document.

6. Restart QuoteWerks and run ConnectIt.

Note: Changing the menuopts.add file will affect all users in a multi-user environment. To see the changes, users will need to close down and restart QuoteWerks.
