Thanks again for your response EdwinYep, I use the same CollabNet release
for testing. Yep, I expected that also, but I dont see it, which leads me
to believe that there is some kind of pathing/mapping problem. Also, I am
not quite sure on the syntax for DefineConstants inside the version target.
Here is my project file. Hope you can see what the problem is..Thanks for
your help.
