Error: "The specified path does not exist"

This error can happen when setting Payroll to run as administrator if your Payroll data is saved on a network or mapped drive.

To fix this, you (or your IT person) will need to configure your network or mapped drive to make it visible to programs running as administrator.

If you're unable to do this, you can either:

  • deslect the Run as Administrator option, print your pay slips as PDFs then email them manually, or
  • move your Payroll data to a local drive.
