What if I need a PATH statement?

I have an old PARADOX program that was running fine until I had a hard drive
crash and had to reinstall. Now it's asking for a modification to my PATH
statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Windows XP doesn't know what that means.
Anyone got any ideas?
 
Hi

Try the modification in the 'autoexec.nt' file instead.

Will,

I found the AUTOEXEC.NT file and opened it with Wordpad, but there was no
PATH statement in it. It looks like mostly REM comments. What I need to point
out to PARADOX is that the path to its OADPI files is C:\OADPI. Would just
putting an old DOS PATH statement in the AUTOEXEC.NT file work?

Forget about the autoexec.nt - try adding the c:\oadpi path to your
system path variable
Specifically, from a command prompt, type the following

path=c:\oadpi;%path%

You can also edit through the GUI by right-clicking My Computer,
Properties, Advanced Tab, click on Environment variables.
Select the path variable in the bottom pane, then click edit and
add ;C:\oadpi to the end.

It worked! I used the GUI. Thank you very much. Now I wish you were here to
help me get the rest of this stuff working after replacement of my hard drive!
