Thanks John, 

That worked great from the server, but when I tried from a workstation, I got all the way to another error message prior to a menu showing up; this does not show up when I ran the shortcut from the server, but does from a windows 10 desktop:

Use UNC instead of mapping a drive.

Hi Everybody, 

having a "Brain Fart" today.........






Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
Magic V8.2 SP7
Btrieve 6.15

When I run the 1st shortcut, everything works. (data viewable)

When I start the 2nd shortcut, it goes into never, never land (never gets to the opening menu)

The L drive is mapped to C:\Magic

The magic.ini file points to C:\Magic\Magic8\... (this work with the 1st shortcut, but not the 2nd)

When I change the magic.ini to point to L:\Magic8\... everything goes back to never, never land (with both shortcuts)

Magic.ini file doesn't have any pointers to an error file (logged into tool kit and Environment does not have any pointers to an error log)

Only see at the top of the screen "Magic Runtime (Not Responding)

Any Pointers?
