Win Server Runtime Problems

[Linda Hapner]

did that and I also used the C:\ in front
didn't matter

I'm thinking that charlie might have it with the fpdata variable
I had gone into the filepro menu and did the ? to see the variables, but it
just blinked at me.  I thought that because it was runtime version I cant
get to the variables?  But then why would the employee be able to work
without problem - wouldnt she be using the same variables?  On windoze,
where is the variable file stored?
