It's the spaces. The above should work if you change it to SET DEFAULT TO (gcPath).

BTW, as a hint, you can simplify the above in a couple of ways. If you're using VFP 6.0 (or want to use foxtools in a previous version), you can simply use gcPath = JustPath(SYS(16)). Or if you're not using 6.0 and don't want to use foxtools, gcPath = LEFT(SYS(16), RAT('\', SYS(16))). In either case, regardless of whether or not you're debugging the path will be properly returned.
