Running Ace Payroll From A Memory Stick
- Because of the way Ace Payroll has been developed it can be run directly from a memory stick.
- This can be useful if you are travelling or want to work from a number of different computers.
- The tutorial shows how to set up a memory stick to run Ace Payroll. The tutorial assumes you already have Ace Payroll installed on a computer and shows how to migrate to a memory stick.
 | The first step is copying Ace Payroll to your memory stick. Plug your memory stick into the computer and then go to My Computer or Windows Explorer . Your Ace Payroll folder is normally called WINPAY and will be on your hard drive, normally called C:\ As shown below, you need to select the C:\WINPAY folder and send it to your memory stick. |
- Having done the above, safely remove the memory stick in the normal manner.
- It now has Ace Payroll on it.
 | When you are at the computer you want to use to process the payroll, insert the memory stick. You need to find out the memory stick drive letter such as E:\, F:\, G:\ etc. Now click Start then Run to run Ace Payroll. You need to tell the computer where to access the Ace Payroll program and data. Assuming the memory stick is G:\ you would type in G:\WINPAY\PAY.EXE G:\WINPAY as shown below. |
Click the OK button and Ace Payroll now runs.
All data entered is saved onto the memory stick - nothing is ever saved to the computer being used.
Notes
- These instructions cover how to run Ace Payroll when you have a single company.
- With multiple companies the instructions are slightly different as you need to point to the folder containing each companies data.
