 Our office is doing a company wide upgrade of Microsoft office 2010 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 to an Office 365 subscription as well as server hardware upgrades.

&lt;p&gt;As I previously mentioned, this was just a quick routine to help myself with a project.&amp;nbsp; Look at the code to set the parameters.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Be accurate: it&amp;#39;s &lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;MS_RFDIR&lt;/span&gt; (not &lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;MS_REFDIR&lt;/span&gt;).&amp;nbsp; Three replies gave the correct spelling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;MS_RFDIR&lt;/span&gt; is a multi-path variable.&amp;nbsp; You assign it in a configuration file to point to one or more folders.&amp;nbsp; MicroStation will search those folders for reference files.&amp;nbsp; For example (forward-slashes are intentional)...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;MS_RFDIR = //Server1/CAD/projects/borders/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;MS_RFDIR &amp;gt; //Server1/CAD/projects/project1/references/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MicroStation will search both the &lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;borders&lt;/span&gt; and the &lt;span style="font-family:courier new,courier;"&gt;references&lt;/span&gt; folders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Office 365 and new server structure</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/283971?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2014 06:09:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2c35b59d-8aef-42e8-a9c7-b815bf9da994</guid><dc:creator>Lorys</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;RobertArnold&amp;quot;]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oooh I&amp;#39;d like to have a look at that can you upload it here please...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Office 365 and new server structure</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/283912?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2014 13:43:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:4b446be9-cc22-42e5-a09a-319147f84045</guid><dc:creator>vmorasko71</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you all for the help! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will delve into the MS_REFDIR variable today. I found it in my configuration file but it is pointing else where. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We get our base configuration file from Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and then modify it to work with our file management system. MDT uses their own special file management system called Document Management System or DMS. Designers and those who want to view or work on a file, open DMS and check out the file.It (the file) goes to C:\DGN and the person can use it from there. All the configuration variables work off that C:\DGN directory so when we (a private entity) use that configuration, it doesn&amp;#39;t go as smooth. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After I spend some time on this I will update you on what works and what doesn&amp;#39;t.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks again! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vinny &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Office 365 and new server structure</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/283788?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2014 15:11:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:8e2badd8-4b1f-4dcd-b2b8-2283d0a61230</guid><dc:creator>RobertArnold</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two things... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) Relative file names. &amp;nbsp;If the files have been attached with relative names-then you should have no or very few issues. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) I do have a vba that I have used to do things similar to this in the past. &amp;nbsp;It&amp;#39;s not very refined, but it does get the job done. &amp;nbsp;Please let me know if you need it.&lt;/p&gt;
