filePro version

[CDay]

Ken,

I have an old customer who has never wanted to update since around 1999 
A.D. and he will not pay me to come there to help.
He bought three used computers with 2000 operating system and upgraded 
them to XP Pro.
The fp and filepro was/is on a '98 windows computer and all is well 
there as a stand alone computer.
He has a local computer guy who has networked the '98 computer to two of 
the XP computers.

Computer guy copied the fp and filePro to one of the XP computers.
I have worked on phone with the computer guy checking the batch file 
environment variables.
I have not seen customer's config file but if it runs on '98 it should 
run on XP as far as I recall.

Batch file is as follows:
> SET PFPROG=C:
> set path=%pfprog%;%pfprog%\fp;%path%
> SET PFDATA=C:
> SET PFDIR=\FPJLR
> SET PFDSK=C
> SET PFMENU=\FPJLR\FILEPRO\JLMENUS
> P JLMAIN
> CD \
**************************************

This batch file on the '98 makes everything work fine on that '98 CPU as 
stand alone with fp and filePro on C:.

On the XP Pro CPU with fp and filePro on C:,  the menus function but 
when execute rclerk to see records, they see a blank screen and there is 
no error message

With batch file modified for mapping to look at the XP CPU (w/fp and 
filePro) from the other XP CPU and the '98 CPU menus function but 
records will not display.

On my XP Pro CPU,  the customer's filePro files work fine.

strange to me is that we do not get the "there are no filePro files" 
error message and the menus are in the filePro directory and those are 
being read/displayed properly, nor will rreport run.   Only a blank 
screen staring back at them.
