>I'm at the point in a current project where I need to build a .EXE and distribute the app to a couple of user's computers. The app isn't fully completed, but it does have a majority of the functionality needed. I've been developing this app using the same path as the users will (using "live" data) - it's already on the server.

What else do I need to do to make this work correctly on their systems? I'm thinking I need to add maybe a call to DO STARTCB in MAIN. Do I also need to CD into the correct directory? Normally in my developement environment I do a cd M:\APPS\MANAGE, then a DO STARTCB, then DO MAIN.

Basically, you shouldn't use any hard-coded paths in your code. To provide thet your system will find needed data files you just should reset Form.DataEnvironment.Cursor.Database properties in DE.BeforeOpenTables event.
