hi all,

this is driving me barmy,
mixture of clients [ though mostly affects win2k/xp pro]

Code:

;========assign vars.========
$x="$$"
$s="\\server_6\" ; main application server
$u=@userid ; user's identification
$Dir=$s+$u+$x ; combine server & username
;============================

SetTime "\\server_6"
Use * /Delete
Use m: "\\server_6\elecbook"
Use p: "\\server_6\data"
Use u: $Dir
Use y: "\\films\nphysics"
Use o: "\\films\films"



all except 'use u:' map consistently. kix version 4.22 or wkix v.4.22 is used ; same result.
yet if i run the script with the /d parameter it works fine.

what else should i be looking at carefully.

on xp pro i have already ensured that the client is forced to wait for the network. it didn't really make any difference.

your feedback appreciated.
