Cris -

This is one of the statements  I mentioned that we add to the autoexec.bat.
But perhaps in version 3 there's someplace else you can do it.   This is what
the version 2 documentation has to say:


" If you decide to run ADSM from a directory other than the directory used
  during installation, you need to do the following to your autoexec.bat
  file:

  1.  Ensure that the current PATH statement includes the directory where
      the ADSM executable files reside.  For example:

           SET PATH=C:\ADSM;...

 2.  Define the DSM_CONFIG environment variable to point to where your
     options file resides.  For example:

          SET DSM_CONFIG=C:\ADSM\DSM.OPT

 3.  Define the DSM_DIR environment variable to point to the directory
     where all other ADSM files reside.  For example:

          SET DSM_DIR=C:\ADSM "


This is also necessary when the options file has a different name.

Good luck - I for one sure hope this gets fixed soon.

Could you explain how to use the DSM_CONFIG variable.

I have found no reference to this. Where and how do I apply it?

Thanks!
