<QUOTE>
When attempting to do a merge with wordperfect(dos) I receive an error message.  The message is the following:



There is a problem with your AREV DOS Sort Path file setting.

Your DOS Sort Pathname is currently set to:  C:\REVWORK

The DOS Sort Path specifies an invalid subdirectory.

The DOS Sort Pathname should specify a complete drive, and subdirectory to be used when AREV is writing temporary files.



How do I change this temporary file setting?  I have a couple of new pc's that give me an "invalid DOS temp directory" error when the program is started.



Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thank you,

Chris

<QUOTE>In order for a local drive sort path to work generically, the drive\subdirectory path must exist on each workstation.  You can put a piece of code in your startup procedure that will create the directory if it doesn't exist.  You can either do this from an MS-DOS batch file on the network (IF EXIST ...) or from within AREV's startup (OSOPEN ...).
