R U sure that U do not have any paths hard coded! Try a little test system. Create a project and one PRG with a couple of lines that displays the path based on a config.fpw. Compile the exe and give it a try. I just did and everything is AOK! Make sure that you do not have a version control problem with your fpw files. Eliminate all copies except the one that U need. Check your code to determine that you are not setting a path via hard-coding. Put some wait windows in your code or use trace to determine where the path is breaking down. lcPATH=SET("PATH") WAIT WINDOW lcPATH+" is Current Path" I would put this wait window in your main program to see if it is working. Oh, also, U don't have any typo errors in the config.fpw do U. Make sure the syntax is correct. Consider using an INI file or a dbf instead of fpw may be another approach... htwh! Steve
