EMERGENCY PROBLEM: Starting filePro

[Richard Kreiss]

Again, check your startup file to make sure all the variables are set
correctly

Here is a sample of one for one of my clients application running on my
system

Note fp is on my server drive T and all of the programs and data are my
server drive w

set PATH=c:\windows\system32
set PFLMHOST=192.168.1.7:6556
set PFDSK=w
set PFDATA=w:
set PFPROG=t:\fp5611
set PFDIR=\ccp
set PFMENU=w:\ccp\fp\menus
set PFGLOB=w:\ccp\fp\lib\edits
set PFCONFIG=
set PFNODF=OFF
set PFSKHEX=ON
set CASSIE=rkreiss
set PATH=%pfprog%;%PFPROG%\fp;%path%
echo stuff > fp$$$$$$.bat
del fp$$*.bat>NUL
%pfprog%\fp\p.exe

This is my setup for running in my office from my server

@echo off
rem This File created by install shield on 1-2-2009
set PATH=c:\windows\system32
set pflmhost=192.168.1.7:6556
set PFDSK=w
set PFDATA=w:
set PFPROG=t:\fp56
set PFDIR=
set PFMENU=t:\fp56\fp\menus
set PFGLOB=
set PFCONFIG=
set PATH=%pfprog%;%PFPROG%\fp;%path%
echo stuff > fp$$$$$$.bat
del fp$$*.bat>NUL
%pfprog%\fp\p.exe


You will not need the pflmhost as this is for 5.0.15 and above
