I have had this phenomenon occur moving the project from my developmement machine to a network environment. Typically, when the app is launched, a message box comes up prompting that that various tables cannot be located, and you are given the choices to "cancel" or "locate" or "ignore". If you choose "locate" the actual locations of the tables are remapped in the dataenvironment. I've always used this lazy approach since it was on my office network that the app was running. But, is the "database" property of the cursor available at runtime? Can a variable to the correct path be set up to automatically remap the table to the cursor at runtime?

>>I have a form that was designed with a data environment. The tables in the environment are in a subfolder (to the applications native folder) named "data". This approach has worked very well accross the board, allowing me to distribute the application and regardless of the name of the native folder, the data is available to the form as long as it resides in a subfolder called "data". Now I want to make this thing work as a multi-user app. The tables do not reside in a database. I assumed I could just use the "SET DEFAULT" command to change to a folder on the server and everything would work just fine as long as there was a subfolder called data. What I find is that once the application is run, the data environment looks the in app's native folder for the "data" folder and all the tables there. Looking at the data environment, I can't change the data source. Is there a way to do this withoug using a database? I want to just be able to enter a new location and have the data
>>environment look there for the "data" subfolder and all its tables!
