Environment Variable question. QTP doesn't recognize env-variables

[Syed Shahul Hameed Mustaffa]

Thanks Joe for all your tips.

The same code was working well before.
Why should it suddenly stop?
I don't have the option to change the code now.

Is there any PH configuration that might have affected the server?
Could any windows update cause this problem?

Regards,
SYED.
