I just installed Excel for Windows Version 2.1 on my one and
only NetWare 386 Server.  When I am in the network directory
containing Excel, namely X:\APPS\WINDOWS  I can type "Excel"
and all works as it should but when I am on any other network
drive (subdirectory), after typing in the word "excel" I am
simply thrown back in the same directory and nothing else
happens.  When I do a map of my drives, X:\APPS\WINDOWS
shows as a search drive and so that is not apparently my
problem either.  I can also say EXCEL from any of my local
drives or subdirectories and everything is fine.
Can anyone tell me why I can't fire up EXCEL from anyother
network drive, even though I have the directory mapped as
a search drive?  Rights to any of the directories is not an
issue either, I am doing all of this from the "supervisor"
account.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.
