The weather here is beautiful - cloudy, rainy and cooler (70s to low 80s). WE are literally singing in the rain.

It is a VFP app, and I do need an actual DOS search path addition. The problem is the Oracle products insist on their directory being in the DOS Env path variable. Yeah, I tried doing a set path in VFP, but this does not work for the Oracle prods. This is most irritating to say the least.
