John, yes, using the BeforeOpenTables is the way to go. If you have some users with one mapping and some with another, you can set the paths to a variable or an application object property according to the user.

>So if you don't know the correct path as on a network installation how do you handle that situation? I am talking about tables that are in the data environments of forms not tables that might get included in with the class definition. As you confirm the data environment gets added when you create each form. So I guess that you have to add a command to call the custom method that John Dennis talked about that modifies that path for each table in the data environment each time you create a form and put it in the beforeloadtables method.
