Hallo Susan,

I'm not sure but perhaps there is one or more element(s) of the pathway to Saxon missing - I think at first You should insert the "transform" subfolder.
If "pubclass" is the renamed "eadcb" folder, You could try the following pathway:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
c:\pubclass\transform\saxon\saxon.jar -o %3 %1 %2
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Good luck!

Betreff: Re: AW: Virtual Machine, revisited (Saxon users)

I'm having the same problem as Allison editing 
the saxon.bat file.  I tried the pathway that 
Edgar suggested and still can't create an FO 
document.  I hate getting upgraded software 
and/or computer; every time I have a problem 
creating my EADs.  Does anyone else have a 
solution?  The pathway I'm trying is

c:\pubclass\saxon\saxon.jar -o %3 %1 %2
pause

All of the NoteTabPro magic is in pubclass; 
saxon.jar is in the saxon folder.  The EAD is 
parker.xml in the documents folder.

The original saxon.bat file is

@echo off
%5\saxon\saxon.exe -w1 -o  ..\%1\%2 ..\%1\%3 ..\shared\styles\%4 %6
       pause
echo _________________________________________________
echo Error messages appear above
pause

When I replace this long string with the 
suggested one above, the  c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe screen displays

c:\pubclass\batch>c:\pubclass\saxon\saxon.jar -o parker.xml documents parker.fo

c:\pubclass\batch\pause
Press any key to continue . . .

When I press any key I get the message

File "c:\pubclass\documents\parker.fo" not found

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sue
