>This It is right at the start alright, though I must say I do not have much control as this is done in the CodeBook framework. Yes there is a line break after CTL32\ and I am not sure why and if it matters, though the first line is 293 characters long.

>UPDATE: Okay it is one line now and still no change. I remembered where the line break came from and corrected it but no change

Ok, one more experiment.

lcPath = set('path')
set path to C:\VSO3\COMMON\LIBS\

?FILE('myStubborn.VCX')

? SYS(2000,'myStubborn.VCX')

set path to (lcPath)
