My usual fix for 98 is similar. Take all the jars, copy them into a d:\jars directory and then build the classpath:
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jars\somejar.jar CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jars\someotherjar.jar CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jars\someapachejar.jar CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jars\somedbxmljar.jar This shortens the classpath to a bare minimum. And "d:\jars\" can be shortened to "d:\j\". I usually call this setenv.bat. I just run it before I execute other batch files. If the other batch files play with the classpath then I edit out the classpath settings. IMHO, Mark "David A.
