Hi William,

Thanks for the input but this was a classic case of not being able
to the see the wood for the trees (or my case paths) as within my restore
script there is a path error where would we be without mapped drives (on the
right path)

Once again thanks for the assist.

Stephen, if you got an answer already then you can probably ignore this.
However:

This error classically occurs when the person running the process does not
have
write permission in the directory that progress is trying to create the
file.
Less commonly, it can also happen if the directory does not exists.

I am trying to restore from our satellite office a copy of their
database.

The file I am using was generate using the following progress command

set DLC=E:\EPICOR\PROGRESS
E:\epicor\progress\bin\probkup online e:\epicor\vantage\db\vantage
e:\backup\live\vantage

and I am tying to restore using

SET DLC=E:\EPICOR\PROGRESS
call e:\epicor\progress\bin\prorest e:\bmp\db\vantage e:\backup\bmp\vantage

the problem I am having is that the progress reports that

PROGRESS PATCH Version 9.0B29 as of April 17, 2000
** Unable to create e:\bmp\db\vantage.st, err = 2 (609)
Unable to create the default .st file
!!! ERROR - Database restore utility FAILED !!! (8564)

If anyone out their can assist I would be greatful

These are the restore lines that work for us. We are restoring Traing
from the backup of the live db. Each line is in between <>.
Operating from the directory the file will be restored to eliminates
some of the ST problems.

<q:>
<cd \epicor\vntgtrn\db>
<\epicor\progress\bin\prorest vantage q:\dwc\backup\vntgbkup.1>
