Have you 'setperms' for the new directory tree?
In my filePro application, I also use what you describe but each time, I make
sure I zap the lock files and run setperms

I don't want to change the PFPROG setting, because I only have one set

Hmmm... good thought. Setperms apparently doesn't obey the PFMENU setting, either, although setperms did find the (moved) databases in /u/newcompany/filepro:
pts002 schwartz root: ./setperms
Checking for user 'filepro'...
User 'filepro' found, proceeding normally...
Setting permissions and ownerships for filePro programs
located in /u/appl/fp
Setting permissions and ownerships for filePro menus
located in /u/appl/fp/menus
Setting permissions and ownerships for filePro data files
located in /u/newcompany/filepro
Setperms found my old menus in /u/appl/fp/menus and not the new menus in /u/newcompany/menus.
[ $quiet ] || echo
[ $quiet ] || echo "Setting permissions and ownerships for filePro menus"
if [ "$PFMENU" != "" ]
then
cd $PFMENU
[ $quiet ] || echo "located in $PFMENU"
elif [ "$FPMENU" != "" ]
then
cd $FPMENU
[ $quiet ] || echo "located in $FPMENU"
elif [ -d $PFPROG/fp/menus ]
OK, found it! Somebody apparently is inserting some settings in someplace else that is overriding PFMENU. When I go into a filePro menu and then "shell out", I see that PFMENU is no longer /u/newcompany/menus. I will have to figure out where that is...
Thanks Bill and Jose!
Sorry to bother you all!
Mike
