>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

Hi there,

You can try one more thing. Include source folder into SET PATH TO clause and it should work.
