>I am updating my Appliction to work under Vista
>
>Currently the application and th data was being installed under 'program files'
>
>Vista apparantly does not permit read/write of database files under the 'Program Files" folder
>
>So where should the database files be installed?? APPDATAFOLDER OR LOCALAPPDATAFOLDER
>
>Obviously I would want to have one installation for XP, 2000, Vista and some Windows 98 machines
>
>Since that database created in foxpro is huge, there is always a possibility that the database may not be installed in the "C:"drive.
>
>How is the application to keep track of where the database files are eventually installed??
>
>Advice & Sample Code would be greatly appreciated
