You aren't doing a Gene Kelley impersonation now are you?:-)

>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.

Is it already running? If so, I'm not sure that your resetting it will have any effect. It doesn't get its path from the registry? Bummer. If it did, you could modify that setting. I've played around with the idea of creating a batch file on the fly and executing that, but, on my machine it had no effect.
