Trouble getting Started

Hi,
I purchased and installed DocBuilder with no problem. Thanks for the fast service.
I'm trying to create a help guide that mirrors the menu structure of a web admin interface for a product I sell. Actually, I have a few guides like this.
The first one I'm trying to set up is "Web Guide". It has a menu structure as follows:
Account Settings
- Administration
- Greetings
- Phone Numbers
Mailbox Settings
- Answer Functionality
- ... and so on
I created a Doc Group called "Voicemail and Fax Web Guide" and pointed it to a directory at mydomain/webguide.
Now when I go to create a doc called Account Settings, in the WebGuide Group, it makes me try to pick a "Document Parent" and when I click Browse to do so, I see several other "Account Setting" links, I guess that were created during my several attempts to figure out what is going on here.
When I finally do try to pick one of these just to see what will happen, after I click "save", I get the error message "Publish Directory not defined". Then, when I click "OK" and go back, the is another "Account Settings" link in the Document Parent Browse button.
I hope this makes sense to you.
What am I doing wrong?
Steve

Hi Steve.
Thanks for posting!
When you are creating or updating a group, there is a field labeled Publish Directory. You can see this by clicking on the Document Groups link and then the modify link.
You can use the browse button from here to select a directory on your web server for publishing to. The reason you are getting that error message is because I think that this field is empty.
Could I get you to take a look at it and let me know how you make out?
If you had already selected a publish directory, could I get you to double check that the folder actually exists on your server?
If neither of these gets you going again, just let me know and I’ll try something else  .

That seems to have done the trick. Too much testing left me with different directory names, with the "publish to" containing one I had deleted, so when I was ready to start with my final structure, I had it all messed up.
Note to self: IT products are so easy and simple to use, no test runs are necessary, just start doing it.
Thanks
Steve
