Dear all,
I am having trouble creating a macro with a colon.
I have just started working in two locations and in essence the server
name is a little different in each place.
in essence i want to delcare a macro which is `R:' followed by a string
like this:
local R: "\\myserver.ac.uk\myfolder"
di "`R:'"
\\myserver.ac.uk\myfolder
however i get this error message
"\\myserver.ac.uk\myfolder not allowed
I know that local macros have extended functions which use colons is
there any way of getting round this?
