This panel allows you to select the options for EFILE transmission.

Location

Select the location to save the transmission database

Indicates the location of the transmission database and sub-files.
By default, Taxprep Forms uses the UNC path to define the network location of the transmission database. If the network configuration requires the use of mapped drives, we recommend that you change the format before modifying the location of the transmission database.

Prompt when the database is not available

Displays a message at start-up when the location of the transmission database is not accessible. When this check box is cleared, access to the Transmission menu, the EFILE Log and the EFILE Archive view are not available.

Select the location to save the generated XML files

Indicates the folder where Taxprep Forms generates the XML file to transmit.

Note: Avoid directly selecting a CD or DVD drive as a database location.

Archive settings

Prompt to archive if the EFILE Log exceeds n entries

Displays a message prompting you to archive the EFILE log entries when they exceed the number specified in this area. By default, Taxprep Forms saves the last 2,000 entries.

Internet

Display portal after creating file

Select automatic display of the Internet portal after creation of the file. This option is not applicable if you are not transmitting slips over the Internet.
