We have a Citrix server in our DEV environment. We installed an application that uses a BTrieve engine and connects to a database that is on a seperate dev server that is mapped. When we launch the app after changing user to install it looks for the correct DB on the correct machine. If we change the user to execute it looks for the Prod. DB, even though it has not accesed production from this machine in the past. Any ideas? We have removed and reinstalled the App several times, still with the same result.
 
Do you know where the information is held that tells the application where the database is located?
What happens is the install mode changes from accessing/updating the users own environment INI files to updating the system files. If you do not know what file holds the information you are looking for, do a search for files containing test %database serve name% When you find the file post the information and we can go from there.
 
That did it.
The win.ini had the path to the production server. I redirected it and now it is looking in the right direction.

Thanks.
