Conquest File Structure

Regardless of the chosen database server, the Conquest II application expects to find certain files in designated locations on the local hard disk or on a file server.  The default location for the Conquest II files on the Client PC is in Program Files or Program Files (X86) for 32 bit or 64 bit Operating Systems respectively. The location can be changed during the installation process.

The following table describes the files and their role in the application. Note: Conquest users must have read/write access to all of these files:

1 The UserInterface.mdb and the Conquest Reports.mdb provide user definable functionality and reports.

It is highly recommended that the “UserInterface.mdb” and “Conquest Reports.mdb” files, which are libraries to the main Conquest II application, are located on a network drive, to which the Conquest users have read/write access. This will remove the risk of having many Master libraries on local machines, which could become unsynchronized with each other and the version of Conquest II being used, possibly leading to errors and delays. For details on accessing the libraries from a common network location see the Library References page

Note: Conquest users must have read/write access to these files at their designated location.
