I share it and give 'everyone' read/write access.the share is \\ computer1 \ sharefolder. Ok I create a folder on my computer let's call it Computer1 and name it sharefolder. That is 100% a valid and working share name - been in use for years many people save to it.Windows Fax and Scan says 'Not valid Network Share' (I'm using xxx's because I don't want to publically announced the real share location) \\xxx\xxxxx\xxxxx\Neuromuscular. So I check the box for 'save to network folder' (don't know the exact wording)

If you read about the feature its supposed to AUTOMATICALLY save to the network folder indicated, its not doing that. If you go into Fax and Scan there's an option in tools -> Scan Routing. it appears a feature that Windows Fax and Scan offers is not working.

So that's the background info - the heart of the issue. The scans to automatically save to a central location so no matter what tech logs in their scans will save to the same location as everyone else.

There are multiple sleep techs that will log into the one computer with the scanner (so in short multiple user profiles) and scan patient RXs. I just installed a scanner at a sleep lab, scanner works flawlessly. We are using Windows Fax and Scan (Version 6.1 Build 7601: Service Pack 1) - its the version included with our Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit client OS
