I guess this isn't a normal installation then, there is no "mywork" directory in the "jdev" directory. My employer's policy is that all our workstations are locked-down to the maximum extent possible, only a few people have admin privileges and can install or uninstall software. So the admin person was here, trying to reinstall JDeveloper 10g. He got tangled up trying to download the file from Oracle (some problem with their server, I guess), but he renamed the directory where my copy of JDEV lived, so he could keep it around as some kind of a backup. Then he went away to figure something out back at his desk. So I changed the pointers in my shortcut to point to the new directory name, and tried starting it one more time. I didn't think it would do anything different. But it did. It spouted messages about files created by the old installation, etc, then it came up! All of my projects were showing in the left pane, everything was there! I shut it down, renamed the directory back to the original name, fixed the shortcut again, started again. The same sequence: messages, successful startup. So I closed and reopened again. This time, no messages, perfectly normal startup. I'm guessing that the different directory name made it think that it was a new installation, so it remade whatever control file it had been stumbling over before. Whatever that may have been. Very, very strange. -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
