I develop on my computer and all tables are in path that is different in usres machines. Thay can't choose in what path they could store data. They only choose main folder for the data. I.e. they choose data to be stored in \\server\Myapplication. then I copy/create data in \\server\myapplication\data1 (2...n)

>>I never used SET DEFAULT TO... all I do is to set proper path to files. i.e. if the Data Files are placed in \\server\MyApplication\BorisData
>>reports - \\server\MyApplication\Reports, etc, all I do:
>>SET PATH TO \\server\MyApplication\BorisData,\\server\MyApplication\Reports
>>and everything is OK. Application finds its data and report

The only thing normal about database guys is their tables.
