You could extract it from the EXE using STRTOFILE and FILETOSTR functions:

STRTOFILE(FILETOSTR("TXTWithinTheExeFileName.TXT"),"ExternalName.TXT")

But that will not resolve your problem. VFP searches first in the EXE and then in the path. So you must include that file with Different name in the EXE.
