>I am converting a fpd26 app to vfp. All of the tables in the fpd26 app were opened programatically. I want to use data environment builder in the form designer, but I need for the CursorSource to ignore the complete path and simply refer to a table in the current dirrectory. The end user's application dirrectory will be different than my prodcution dirrectory. Consequently, I can't have the CursorSource refer to the complete path. Is there any way to edit the CursorSource at production time, or when choosing a table let it know that I don't want the full path?

we usually keep our data in a directory called data immediately under the application. in this way, the .dbc will reference only the related path info (i.e. data). you'll still need to validate the .dbc when it is moved, but this is fairly simple.
