In ProControl the environment settings look ok, with ACCESS=ALL and
DLC=C:\DWC\DLCSERV.
There don't appear to be any orphaned Prowin32 processes.
The server directory permissions look fine with everyone having full control
and the client machine can browse the mapped directory.
As you've suggested I've created a shortcut to:
F:\DLC\bin\prowin32.exe -db F:\Vantage\db\dcdv7.db -N TCP -H
192.168.0.100 -S vntgserv -inp 1200
However all this does is launches the Progress procedure editor.
I'm contemplating wiping the test machines and installing NT4 to see if it's
something to do with my Windows 2000 setup that's causing the problem.
