Clarification: by "standalone.exe" i mean one that does not require other files to execute. > >That would do one thing if it is called -- show you that it is the path >involved. If so, you can do one of two things ----- reinstall sm 2.x to >*that* directory, OR pass that golden info to the IT dept. and change the >SM icon(s) target(s) until they get it "fixed".

I have not used Lotus Notes, but if it is like the old Lotus 123 R5, the .ini files would be a likely place to look for paths.......... Understand, it may not be showing you a path, but it may have one in an .ini or compiled into a DLL. > >jim > > _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
