- Well I just realized what was wrong. Boy I feel stupid.....
- We load Paradox through a system of two batch files and those
- batch files were not taking into account for parameter passing.
-
- I relized this after I was trying to execute a script from the
- command line: i.e. paradox survey
- and it didn't work so I found the parameter passing problem.
- I havent tried it yet, but I suspect it should work now!

- Thanks
