IRIS PAYE-Master

Problem

This error may occur when you try to open PAYE-Master. This can sometimes happen on a new computer because of restricted user access.

Resolution

IRIS PAYE-Master requires that each logged on user has full read and write access to the following folders.

•The local folder where the program is installed. This is usually:

PAYE-Master – C:\Program Files\IRIS Software Ltd\PAYE-Master.net 
or C:\Program Files(x86)\IRIS Software Ltd\PAYE-Master.net

• The folder where your data files are kept. If you are not sure where your live data files are located, you can check by going to Utilities   > Move Data File. The folder listed under the Location heading is where you will find the live data for each company.

• The folder where you store your PAYE-Master back-up files.

• C:\ProgramData\IRIS Software Ltd

Beware the ProgramData folder is a hidden folder by default in Windows. It is recommended you speak to your I.T. provider to help with this issue.
