I haven't read all the responses so maybe you already have an answer. I'll tell you what I do though, when I'm modifying/developing a network application on my lap top that only has a c drive.

Say that the program files reside on the c drive in a directory named mbc and a particular customers data files reside on a server drive that is mapped as the n drive with a directory named mbcdata.

In order to simulate the network environment while you are developing and testing your application, create a new directory on your c drive and name it nsim (for this example). Open the new nsim folder and create another directory called mbcdata. Copy all data files into this directory.

Now, go into foxpro (or VFP) and in the command window type: set volume n: to c:\nsim. From this point forward, all references to n:\mbcdata will find the data files in c:\nsim\mbcdata.

It works for me, maybe it will help you.
