Hello all:



I have a site that is receiving messages such as: 



"Error opening or reading from .INI File AREVC.INI"

"Error writing to DOS file AREVC.INI"

"B527} Your DOS path for temporary files is invalid. Please check environment setting."

"r563988.VF2 is not available for the view window"



The environment is 3 NT workstations using the NPP and bumped to 6 users.  The 'server' (this is a peer-to-peer setup) runs fine, the 'remote' stations receive the error messages.  The server is mapped to drive C:, the remotes are mapped to drive B:.  



I have left "Rollout DOS filename" and "DOS path for temporary files" in the AREVC.INI file blank.



Any suggestions out there?



TIA,



Mike O.

<QUOTE>I have seen something similiar with win2k and what I found was that the string in the set environment variables ala set arev=xxxx.xxx was truncated to only two places past the point. I think if I remember correctly I either renamed the arevc.ini file to arevc.in or something along those lines.....

<QUOTE>Another way to effectively increase the environment under NT is to set a default environment setting.



SET DUMMY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX



Then as the first line of your batch file to call AREV

SET DUMMY=



This frees up more space than would otherwise be offered. There are some problems with environment expansion under NT 4.0.

<QUOTE>I had found that the problem acted differently each time using a batch file to set arev. Using Steve Smith's example of setting a dummy string in AUTOEXEC.NT and then setting it to null prior to setting AREC.INI in my batch file worked just fine.....



Thanks
