>I have a great problem in handling file location during distribution of my software. To build exe file from project file, the file locations have already hard-coded. The problem is how to change the location of files during runtime or installation. I would be grateful if anybody could give me an advice.

I usually have an ini file that holds the location of the data files for the app. I have read write functions for FPW 2.6 and soon to have for VFP. I use GETDIR() to set the locations up when the app is installed...
