I am having the same problem. My application directory is \MMortals\TestApp\. I want to develop so that the ErrorLog is on a shared network drive.

I put Errorlog.dbf in \MMortals\TestData, where my TestApp.DBC is. It works fine if Errorlog.dbf is the application directory.

But if I move ErrorLog.DBF to \MMortals\TestData\, I get "Error instantiating cursor object. Cannot find \MMortals\TestApp\Errorlog.dbf".

I believe the problem is in the SET PATH of SETUP.PRG. ErrorLog.DBF is not in that path and goApp does not exist yet to find the local DBC location. The other problem is that ErrorLog.DBf is a free table, so it does not use the DefaultDatabase path. Any ideas how fix this??
