Error Message When Printing Financial Reports

This topic provides a solution for the error message "Directory is controlled by other .net files" that may occur when printing ACS Financial Suite reports. The error can be resolved by manually deleting .net and .lck files.

When printing ACS Financial Suite reports, this error displays:

Directory is controlled by other .net files.

  • Products Affected: ACS Financial Suite

  • Versions Affected: Any

To fix the error, remove the .net and .lck files. These files, created by ACS to prevent simultaneous record editing, are usually deleted upon proper program exit. However, they may persist if the workstation becomes unresponsive, the computer is restarted, or ACS is not properly exited. In such cases, manual file deletion is necessary.

  1. Click Delete .Net and .Lck Files.
  2. Click Search, then Delete.
  3. When the confirmation message displays, click Yes.
  4. Click Close.
