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.

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