Vic,
Would that work just for main MES menu screen changes? How about for the
individual program customizations, such as 'End Activity' and 'Report
Quantity'?
Thanks,

Ed,
(1)-------------
Make a copy of the .mfgsys file found in
C:\client803\client\config
For example, copy the DEFAULT.MFGSYS file to
MES_DEFAULT.MFGSYS
(2)--------------
Now open the file and look for this line:
<MESCustomMenuID value="UDMES_VIC" />
Where "UDMES_VIC" above is the customization name of the MES UI that you
made.
(3)---------------
Now, finally, on the MES workstation make a copy of the MES
icon/shortcut. Call it "MES Custom" or whatever you desire.
In the properties of that new shortcut:
C:\client803\client\MfgSys.exe -MES /config=MES_DEFAULT.mfgsys
Notice the /config= setting above. It should equal the .mfgsys file you
created in Step 1 above.
That's it! I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it's not too bad.
Once you get it set up on one MES box then you can copy the shortcut and
the .mfgsys file to a network share or thumb drive and propagate it to
the other PCs.
Alternatively, you can put the .mfgsys file centrally on the Vantage
server and point all clients to it. In step 3 above substitute this line
for the property of the shortcut instead
C:\client803\client\MfgSys.exe -MES
/config="\\VANTAGESERVER\epicor\mfgsys803\client\config\MES_DEFAULT.mfgs
ys"

Once you have a Custmization built for MES, where do you tell Vantage to
