>Mike, what do you mean about the folder being stored in the vcx... which record/field would hold this information? Wouldn't vfp error on build if this were the case?

classloc field in the scx and vcx tracks the relative folders. If things are not as it expects, it will ask you to locate files during build, but once you answer it once, it remembers that answer and keeps looking there for other files. The whole idea is a big pain in the butt, preventing easy moving from folder to folder. IMO it should just use the SET PATH and that's it. It's been this way a long time.
