Hi Jayesh,

It works!!!, thanks for your help.

I have another questions for you.

If I had two directories on the server with paradox files, Should I define two DSN for each directory, or Could I change the directory via foxpro???

How can I define the DSN automatically when I install the application program?

Bye
