This guide describes how to move ExcelReportLink to another Location (Folder / Computer / Network Drive).
If you have a new machine (PC) or wish to hand over reporting operations to another person, the first step is to work out where ExcelReportLink is installed. You can do this by tracing the path of the shortcut on your desktop. If its installed on a shared folder on your server then navigate to that folder from the new PC and run the ExcelReportLink.exe. The first time its run from that new location a setup wizard will start to capture setup instructions.
 
If located on your local PC then you need to move that copy to your new machine rather than install a new version of ExcelReportLink.
