Earl Yeo J #1 / 3	Dos Env Read & write 1# Can some tell me why , when I set and then retrive a Dos env from a dos shell (win95) all works well. BUT when I restart the same app with a shortcut on my desktop. The dos varibles I create and retrive are no where to be found during runtime ????? 2# Some clipper tools when linked in a protected mode (exospace 53 ) don't work , and even make my app crash. ex: serialnum() I use to identify the hard drive's serial number to prevent software copying. note : Yes I up-dated with the 53 patch for ca tools for protected mode -- ============================================== Earl Yeo Jr http://www.--*.com/

You may need to run the Clipper app from a batch file that sets the environment variables when running from a shortcut?

You must set the value for Environment Space to 2048 or higher in the Properties - Memory section of your shortcut, as we did within NT. You will get a hidden message otherwise: "Out of Environment Space" as you try to use more that the default available. Try it.
