>Is there a way to, at the beginning of a form, to add the data files to the data environment programmatically, or set a path for the DE to use before opening files? The problem I am having is that locally, or over the LAN, an app works just fine, and opens the files it needs using path strings, which change quite regularly, for example:

Would Yes be helpfull?

A DE has a [Before]OpenTables event, a Form a Load event. Here you might set paths etc
Check the help there

A form has a BindControl property, also usefull.

Remember that controls do not bound to a table, they bound to an alias.
