>I use vfp and everything is built using the project manager. Database files are handled by the data environment. Location of form files etc are handled by project manager. Icon amd bmp files are fixed in location when they are incorporated into the form object. So I use classes in the building process instead of writing lengthy program files. There seems to be no way to edit the project file. If ther is a way to convert the project to codes, the resulting prg files can be edited and coped with. Please advise further.

I guess that I am confused as to what your problem is. I thought that you had a problem pointing to your data files because you had some commands that used the full path name of a file. You should be able to edit all the prg files in a project. Did you write the project?
