Janet,
I posted this a few weeks ago related to a similar problem. Perhaps it
will help.

Try it this way, which, for me, has been foolproof across several MS
operating systems, and many versions of R:Base for DOS. Some of
the tabs and fields in the shortcut properties may be different,
depending on your version of Windows.:
1. Create a BATCH file that will start R:Base for DOS. The BATCH file
should look like the model below, with drives and directories changed
to match your system. If you are running in NT or Win 2000, name the
BATCH file with the extension CMD. If you are running in Win 95 or
Win 98, name the BATCH file with the extension BAT If all users have
the same path name to their local copy of the R:Base executables,
you can put the batch file on a public network drive.
Where I have F:\RBSERVER, you should have the network drive and
directory on which your SERVER.SY5, SERVER6.RBG or other
R:Base network access control file. (Depending on your version of
R:Base, it may have either name. If you have R:Base 6.5 or later, you
can totally ignore this requirement.)
Where I have C:\RBTI\RB40DOS, you should have the local drive and
directory on which R:Base for DOS is installed. It should also be the
directory in which this user's RBASE.CFG file resides.
-------- RB40DOS.BAT --------------
SET SAVPATH=%PATH%
SET PATH=F:\RBSERVER;C:\RBTI\RB40DOS;%PATH%
REM -- Now change to the drive and directory containing
REM -- your R:Base database and application files
F:
CD \RBDATA\MYAPP
REM -- Start R:Base
c:\RBTI\RB40DOS\RBASE.EXE -c -r -k1
EXIT
------------------------
2. Create a new shortcut, pointing to your new batch file.
3. Rename the shortcut to your application name
4 Right-click the icon and choose Properties.
5. On the PROGRAM tab, close on exit should be checked.
6. Under Advanced, Prevent MS-DOS from detecting windows should
be checked.
7. Under "change icon", navigate to
c:\rbti\rb40dos or whatever, and choose a more appropriate icon.
8. On the MEMORY tab, be sure conventional memory is AUTO,
environment is 2000 or higher, expanded is disable or zero, extended is
eight megabytes or more, and protected memory amount is the same
as extended.
9. on the MISC tab, be sure "always suspend" is Un-checked.
If all of your workstations are setup with the same directory names and
drive mappings, you can copy the shortcut to floppy or a network folder
in order to drag it easily to other desktops.
