Well, I can't be positive about 1.3, but I know with the 1.2 toolkit there was a problem with the resource compiler that if the directory containing RCPP.EXE was more than 128 bytes (or so) down your PATH specification, it couldn't find the file to load. So if you have a very long PATH set up, try moving the directory containing the toolkit binaries earlier in the PATH and see if the run succeeds. -- -- David -- /-----------------------------------------------------------------------\ \ David Bolen / | Laboratory Automation, IBM Thomas J.
