I think SYS(2014,"APPNAME.EXE")can help you.

from the vfp help file->

SYS(2014) can be used with FULLPATH( ) to make applications portable. That is, when given the location of the current program and the location of other files used by the program, FULLPATH( ) and SYS(2014) obtain the proper paths for these files. Once the files' paths are determined, the files can be accessed by the program.
