Building new company, but can't edit the new company menus...

[Mike Schwartz]

     I am running filePro 5.0.13D4 on SCO Openserver 6.  I built a complete
new "testing" company by copying all the existing filePro databases and
menus to a new subdirectory structure.  

 

    Qualifiers will not work in this instance.  I want code I can mangle
without any possibility of damaging the main code or databases.  I will
transfer all my changes to the main system after I am done making changes to
my test system.

 

    I copied all the filePro databases from  /appl/filepro to the
/u/newcompany subdir, then I copied the menus to /u/newcompany/menus and
I've set the following:

 

PFDIR=/u/newcompany; export PFDIR

PFMENU=/u/newcompany/menus; export PFMENU

 

     Everything seems to work, EXCEPT when I go to the filePro main "P" menu
and try to edit a menu.  The "P" menu always seems to open the original
/appl/fp/menus.

 

     I don't want to change the PFPROG setting, because I only have one set
of filePro programs on the system.  From the "P", when I try to "Define
Output" or  "Define screens: or even "Define edits" I get the correct
"newcompany" programs "Define user menus" is the only thing that does not
work.  

 

     Suggestions?

 

And, Happy New Year everybody!
