Hi Mike,
I'll take a look and see if I can find that utility.
Thanks,

>I vaguely remember having a problem of that sort. IIRC it was caused by VFP trying to be "helpful" by storing drive letters and paths to forms and stuff from the design time environment. So if you have things on the D drive, references to D get built into the exe. That is a too common mistake - blurring the lines between design time and run time. In VMP we had a utility to remove these references. I think it was xxdtxrelpath?
