Hi...I'm getting ready to deploy Opus 1, on a network. I've been developing this on my home network but now need to be able to deploy on multiple workstations with the data files on a Novell server and an .EXE file located on each workstation. The environment at the client site is different than my own...(different drive mappings, folder names, you name it.).

So my question is, can you use the setup wizard to deploy this thing on client machines? Some of the things I'm worrying about are:

1. The project file so far, includes the data files (.DBC and tables)
2. The data environment also includes the data files (there is a data environment for each form.)


Since the Setup Wizard includes everything in the subdirectory, I'm thinking that I could remove the data files and place them on my home server, and then rebuild the project. However, unless the drive mappings, etc are identical, the client's executable wouldn't know where to find the data. (Is it smart enough to ask the first time and then remember? I don't think so.).

The app builds and deploys fine as a standalone application. I'm using VFP 6.0 with the latest service pack (3)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
