If it asked for five files in two directories, you'd have to tell it where the first directory was, then where the second was, then where the first was again.

I had to copy the VFP English files from the MSDN disk to my hard disk. Then it could use the file. Even if I told it where it was on the DVD, it said it wasn't a valid file.
Don't know if I've been reported as a terrorist or not to Redmond...
