And you prefer not being able to see what is wrong?  :-)

Excluding the 'set FPDIR=\fpweb' line this batch file has worked for years.  I can't get fp to bring up the new files loaded in to V:\fpweb\filepro.

Here, you set PFDIR to point to "\fpweb".

And here, you unset it.  filePro will now look at "V:\filepro", and not 
"V:\fpweb\filepro".  (Unless you happen to have an fppath file pointing to 
"\fpweb".)
