I have already tried that very thing, to no avail.
There is a step at the beginning of each of the processes.

This is the Parent
<step action='Set Macro' type='0'>
<MacroEnvVar type='11'>-1</MacroEnvVar>
<MacroName>Temp</MacroName>
<MacroValue>c:\temp1</MacroValue>
<indent type='3'>1</indent>
<name> Temp1</name>
</step>


This is one of the children
<step action='Set Macro' type='0'>
<MacroEnvVar type='11'>-1</MacroEnvVar>
<MacroName>Temp</MacroName>
<MacroValue>c:\temp3</MacroValue>
<indent type='3'>1</indent>
<name> Temp3</name>
</step>

This does not change the command line output for the child processes.....

Command-Line: "c:\vb6.exe" /m "o:\Server\tmp~~AegisCAD.vbp" /out c:\temp1\vsmake.err

The end result is this........
Unable to open file c:\temp1\vsmake.err: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to get around this.

Thanks a lot for the help.
