A client has moved an old FPDOS 2.6 app from an old computer to a new one. The app includes FoxFire (version 3, I think) for DOS. The app works OK, except when they run a report they get a LOCFILE() dialog asking where LOAD.DBF is. If they manually find that file, the report runs fine.

I seem to recall that FoxFire may make use of DOS environment variables to be able to find its components. Can anyone confirm this, and possibly let me know what the environment variable names are and what they do?

The old computer is not easily accessible.
Regards. Al
