Transferring from TSRemote to Timeslip 2011

Question

Have been using TS for many years. Recently upgraded main computer where TS2011 is installed. The remote TS computers cannot send slips to main TS unless main TS is closed. TSRemote asks for location of TS install but it does not recognize indicating mapped drive may need to be changed.

I reinstalled TS under the C:\Timeslips folder, gave everyone sharing rights to \TIMESLIP and DATA01. Same result. When TS server is open, TS Remote prompt to locate TS Install. I navigate to \TIMESLIP \DATA01 folder on server and then TSR prompt to show where install folder is. I navigate to C:\TIMESLIP on server and get error message, "Could not establish the network lock file PDOXUSRS.NET. This file is located in C:\TIMESPLIPS and C:\PROGRAMData/BORLAND/NETDIR. 
 However, when TS server is shut down (i.e. PDOX file is also closed), TSRmote users can send slips (no prompts after selecting DATA01 folder for install folder). 
 How do I get the locked PDOX file not to be inacessible? 
 
 Thanks

Pathing for the Paradox versions of Timeslips can be a challenge. But it sounds like that is what is the issue here. ALL machines that access the database need to see it via the same number of subdirectories. The Drive letter itself is less relevant that what appears after it. 
 On a peer to peer network, this type of issue is very common as the machine hosting the database is often using a different path than the workstations.

@Caren2, I believe it is the workstations that are prompting for the CFG file, not the new Windows 10 machine.
