Expand Files Question

[Henry Melancon]

Ken and all on the list,

I appreciate all the help and I have done everything to the letter that
was suggested regarding the PFNODF=ON command.

I set it as instructed and receive the error on the XP and Win 98
machines.

If I do not define it, the Win98 machine with a 30 GB hard that is
reading the files from a Win Server with a huge hard drive will work
properly.  The XP machines do not in any situation.

It appears the PFNODF command is not working properly on my system and I
have no clue why.  My company has just recently purchase 5.0 before 5.6
was available and it seems it is working worst than 4.8.10.  Needless to
say, I am becoming frustrated with Filepro.  I have very simple files
and I cannot get the system to work properly with the XP machines.

If ddefine doesn't give you the "PFNODF=ON" warning, then you haven't
set it properly.  I'm not sure what else to say.

Your Win98 box probably has less than 2GB of free space.
