have you tried setting the environment variable within Windows settings?
System Properties, advanced tab, environment variables -- Eric Bursley PMP, MCSE, RHCE "Bo" wrote in message ... Vista UAC pops up a new Command window and my environment variable is lost.

Any suggestion/comment are appreciated and welcome! Thank you! Run CMD.EXE as administrator, then set the environment variable and run your exe. You could also set the environment variable globally through Windows (System properties, advanced, environment variables) but that makes it harder to set on the fly, which it appears might be what you want to do. -- Zaphod No matter where you go, there you are!
