It is WIndows 7, but the computer I replaced was Windows 7 also. I have 3 locations and logged on remotely to one location that runs program under Windows 7 to check and it was setup the same. I have full path set correctly and it runs properly when started directly. I also use at one location with XP and runs fine Tom Hart

Implies Win7. "Been using for a long time" implies maybe XP on older machines. Are you supplying the _full_ path to the config file which might different for the two o/s's?

This has worked like a charm until I tried to run it on a new machine. It works fine if you run the file directly from the folder but if it tries to run from the task manager I get numerous messages like: >Rbase engine driver- \E-error-Invalid configuration file >Error - unrecognized global variable in expression >Error - expression cannot be evaluated > >Any ideas why this happens in task manager and not when run directly > >Tom Hart >
