You probably know that Tools, Options, File Locations is the place to set defaults for general use, but if you want it to change depending upon which project you are using you might want to use this trick I picked up somewhere.

The project is actually an Object and as such has properties which you can query.

If a project was open the last time you closed VFP it will open upon startup. If you place the following code in VFPStart.prg it will be called after the Project is opened and it can get the path from the project.

_VFP references what we used to call _screen.

by using this trick the what ever project is opened automatically will determine the current directory.




IF TYPE('_vfp.activeproject.name')# 'U'
cd (justpath(_vfp.activeproject.name))
ENDIF
SET PATH TO

I put the following code in the Config.fpw

COMMAND= DO VFPSTART.PRG

Does this answer your question?
