Okay, many thanks for this. Firstly, I apologise if I am asking these questions in the wrong place, I don't want to waste people's time but it is *very* frustrating for new users when problems like this occur. I scoured the documentation, the quick-start guide, the faqs and searched on the internet but could find no help. From some of the responses I have received from the various sources it seems that I am not the only person hitting these issues.
Secondly, it looks like my error is that I set the CLASSPATH to point at the directories, .../JAR and .../JAR/lib, not each individual .jar file as in your batch file. I had tried it with just the small set of .jars that you have and, as far as I can tell, the only difference is using the directories in the CLASSPATH variable. I'll change that in mine and see what happens but I can compile and run the example you sent which is fantastic. Many thanks again and sorry for being stupid. Mark Proctor wrote: > > sigh....
