Hi Kathryn,
I'm not sure if this helps or not, but we also use NoteTab, with the EAD
Cookbook loaded onto to it. We've tweaked all of the components
substantially and have created a zip file. Both our version and the
original Chris Prom version unzip and create directories on the C drive
only. We've found that we can not "share" files on our networked
drives; we can copy them only. We can only
work/create/edit/parse/transform when it is on our C drive. I'm not
sure exactly what NCEAD is, but perhaps the program and package have to
be loaded individually on each C drive as the Cookbook. We also
purchased additional licenses.
Hope that helps...

Subject: another question
I am the processing archivist and the primary encoder in a growing
shop. We use NoteTab Light with NCEAD_2002 clips and stylesheets. Four
computers, used by student employees and one archivist tech, are
networked to mine. Until recently, I created all new files, but the
staff and grad asst. will begin creating files as well. In our test
runs, we have learned that none of the networked computers can create
new proper finding aids. They do not insert the administrative
information, such as the institutional name, header entity, etc., within
the document. Two also have pop-up boxes stating that there was an
error.
Can anyone tell from this brief description whether this is a network
issue or a style sheet issue?
Thanks,
Kathy
