I am running OI 8.0.5 and in the process of fixing some bugs in Arev32 that occurred in the transition from an Arev31 application. I have the application running on a server and use a shortcut to open OI then launch Arev32 with the standard OI button bar. Since updating from OI 8.0.3, I have been unable to open Arev32 this way from two separate machines. One PC can launch Arev32 with normal login behavior. When the second PC launches Arev32, s/he is greeted w/ Login failed

Application Name:
Typing the usual application name and credentials just refreshes the window, i.e. doesn't let me in. Is there some way to remedy this?

Hi, Matt.
You may want to check the record CTO in your SYSENV table; perhaps it was changed by the upgrade?
As a quick refresher, the CTO record in SYSENV tells the AREV32 form how to connect to an OEngine. If there's an IP address in field 1 of this record, then the form will connect to the EngineServer running at that address; if it's a file path (or a "."), then the form will attempt to directly connect to the OENGINE.DLL located in the specified directory.
One change from earlier versions of OI is that an EngineServer is _not_ automatically launched when you start up OI (this used to be a configurable option in the ini file); if you were relying on this behaviour, then you should instead switch to using the 'direct connect' option (for example, by putting a "." in the CTO record in field 1), or explicitly start up an EngineServer (either at the command prompt or as a service).
Hope that helps,
