Local Vntgwork folder

Vantage just uses the vntgwork folder like a temporary folder when doing reports, etc. But it leaves the files there when it is done. They can be safely deleted, as Vantage makes them again the next time anyway. (The exception is the cache file as Ted mentioned, which you can recreate using the Vantage menu. It doesn't hurt anything by deleting the cache file. Vantage can work without it. It is just a time-saving feature.)

Subject: [Vantage] Local Vntgwork folder


Local working directory for Vantage...

What can be deleted out of here? I have an individuals that is fairly
large and he doesn't have much disk space to spare. Mine is over 7
MB. I know that I have copied the contents of other peoples folder to
mine when I have tried to edit crystal reports that I do not have access
to. It allows you to view the reports without getting all of the
errors. Can anyone tell me what each file type does and which can be
deleted?

There are varying degrees of response to this, but basically you can delete everything. You may need to recreate the cache file if you are using that option. Be careful, some people keep thier local .rpt files for Report Builder in the vntgwork directory. They might be mad if they are deleted.

Here is a batch file that I've used in the past to get rid off all of the files using a logon script.
-----------------------------BEGIN BATCH FILE-----------------------------
@echo off
c:
cd\vntgwork
attrib +r *.prl
del *.* /q
attrib -r *.prl
------------------------------END BATCH FILE-------------------------------

Hope this helps,

Not a Vantage expert, but I've been able to completely empty the folder
without any negative effects. I have noticed that if you view a Vantage
form that was done in Crystal Reports directly from Crystal after empting
the folder you will generate an error. However, logging into Vantage and
running that form one time will regenerate the necessary dbf files to allow
you to work with the form in Crystal.

Don't take my word alone though as I said I'm no Vantage expert, only
speaking from my personal experiences.
