New NFS mount interfering with filePro

You need to give us the following variables:

PFDIR  Line 3 in fppath
PFDATA  Line 2 in fppath
PFDSK
PFPROG  Line one in fppath

Where are these things on your system?

I will give you a sample setup:


/var/appl/filepro - has some of my data and is on the main system drive
/var2/appl/filepro - contains some files and is on a mounted drive
/var/appl/fp - is on the main drive

My variables need to have:

PFDIR=/appl
PFDATA=/var
PFDSK=/var:/var2
PFPROG=/var/appl

Filepro will look for data in /var/appl/filepro and then in 
/var2/appl/filepro

Do not put key, index, or data in both places.  Programming will be 
pulled from /var/appl/filepro if it exists there.

I hope this helps.
Nancy
