Make action not using environemt macros

[snutt]

I have set a number of macros and checked the "Add to environment variables when calling external programs" check box. However when I run the Make VS.NET action, these macros have not been added to the environment variables. Is there a workaround to this?

Many thanks,

Steve

That works ok here. For instance, using VBP 6.4 and VS.NET 2003, building the attached test.bld produces output of:

Please ZIP and send or post:
1) The info from Help | About | Install Info
2) The .bld file
3) A build log file
4) The .sln file and project files (no source code files)
Which demonstrate the problem

Thanks.
