Hi Henri -

I have had this same problem. I think it is because the path of the DBC gets hardcoded in the database container. (To see what I mean, open a form, go to the database container, click on a table and look at the database property - you will see the entire path there.) I was unable to resolve this, and the only way I found at run time to be *sure* that it was accessing the run time files and NOT my development files was to make sure that from run time the user didn't have access to the design time path and files. This forced VFP to look along the path that I specified w/SET PATH.

Seems like there should be a better way....
