Hi Steve,

>I am not real sure where the user is going to install the application, and I defintely don't know where the data will reside every time. So I thought I would "get by" with it hardcoded for now, and would get some ideas from the True Gurus (TM) on how to softcode this.

In our application the user can choose from a data set in the login dialog. All possible data locations are stored in an INI file in the local windows directory and maintained by the administrator.
