>>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?

I have the same problem stated above, and don't fully understand
the solution. I have always a DATA\ directory too, but the
problem is that CursorSource stores the full path, i.e. every
thing before the DATA\ directory is stored too, and when I move
the application, the full path is not stored.
And my problem gets bigger inthe application that runs my
business, as I have one directory for development, and another
with actual data, and it gets difficult to develop without
mixing actual and development data.

Thanks for your advice.
