Troubleshoot network-wide issues

Try the following steps to troubleshoot network-wide issues with Fixed Assets CS.

Close open files

Sometimes an open file stuck on the server may prevent Fixed Assets CS from launching. Follow these steps to close open files on the server.
  1. Have everyone on the network close out of all CS Professional Suite and Microsoft Office applications. You may have to use task manager to make sure CS Connect Background Services are also no longer running.
  2. On the computer where the data is located, go to the Manage Open Files screen.
    • Windows 8 and 10: Right-click
      This PC
      in the Start menu or on the desktop, then select
      Manage
      . In the
      Computer Management
      window, expand Shared Folders under System Tools and select
      Open Files
      .
    • Windows 2012: Select the Start menu. In the search field, enter
      compmgmt.msc
      . In the console window, expand Shared Folders under System Tools and select
      Open Files
      .
  3. Close any file with name or path references to CS Professional Suite.
    note
    If an open file won't close, or if closing it doesn't fix the problem, try restarting the server.
