SUMMARY

In Microsoft Excel, you can create a custom Setup script that allows a network administrator to customize and/or automate a setup procedure that is run from a server.

To do this, modify the SETUP.STF file (this file is created during the administrative setup).

The following is a list of the values that you can use to reference directories from the SETUP.STF file.

   Value          Meaning
   ------------------------------------------------------------

   %D             Use the destination directory of the parent.

   Null           Use the destination directory of the parent (same as %D).

   %S             Use the source directory.

   %W             Use the Windows directory.

   %M             Use the Windows System directory.

   %D\subdir      Use a subdirectory of the parent. Example: %D\WINWORD

   %S\subdir      Use a subdirectory of the source directory.

   %W\subdir      Use a subdirectory of the Windows directory.

   %M\subdir      Use a subdirectory of the Windows System directory.

   %OBJIDnumber   Use the same directory as the directory specified for
                  that OBJID number.

These values can be used for configuring any supported directory change in the SETUP.STF.

For more information on creating custom Setup scripts see the NETWORK.TXT file located on Disk 1 of the Microsoft Excel 5.0 disks.
