Hi all,

I have got this problem after getting a new desktop system with Win XP to
log into my dataflex system. My dataflex databases are stored on a server
and running on Novell. On a Windows 95/98, when I log into Novell, it would
run a script to map out the server drive to F: and to run Dataflex, a batch
file was created to run the following:-

EXEC MAP G:=SYS:MCSB\ACCOUNT1
EXEC G:
EXEC SET DFPATH=G:
EXEC DFRUN V12MENU C
EXEC F:

But on my Windows XP, when I run dataflex with the above, it states that
"CAN'T FIND TERMLIST.CFG". I have checked and found out that the dataflex
program (even TERMLIST.CFG) are on a separate folder from the databases. I
have tried to set path in Windows XP to include the location of the dataflex
program folder in the Environment Variables settings but it still prompts up
the same error. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Terence,

You have to add evironment variables to your batch file. Something like
this:

set dfprog=n:\df23
set dfpath=.;.\data;n:\df23

dfprog for the runtime (termlist.cfg) and dfpath for the data path.

Regards,
