>Hi all,

>I raised this a month ago but just now cycling back to it. Users would sometimes get a couple errors after they have opened their DVD drive (Drive D:) and then closed it. The error would occur when opening a new form after reading something from the D: drive and then taking out the CD (the last step is important - does not happen if they leave the CD in the drive).

>Class libraries: D:\VMP\XLIB\XXFW.VCX ALIAS XXFW, D:\VMP\XLIB\XXFWUTIL.VCX ALIAS XXFWUTIL, D:\VMP.............

>So it seems the compiler is leaving the pathing in and then when the user uses the CD drive, it continues to try to search it.

Hi Albert

Visual MaxFrame Professional (VMP) includes a utility to remove such pathing. DO XXDTXRelPath
