strfile = %FreeDown%\rowHigh.xml

$strfile = EnvGet ( "FreeDown" ) & "rowHigh.xml"

Try something like this:

$var = "C:SharedFreeDown
strFile = $var & "rowhigh.xml"

Thanks for quick reply...

I need to use %FreeDown% since the drive letter is different.

Thanks

EnvSet("FreeDown", "c:\Shared\FreeDown") ; set env var for test
;
; delete the first line if the env var is already set.
;
Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", 1)
$strfile = "%FreeDown%\rowHigh.xml"
MsgBox(262144," ",$strfile,0)

If the variable is set in command line, it will be local to the session and temporary.
