If I understand what you're doing, here's one way...

In the table? where your storing the path info, also have a flag which identifies if this is a new installation. Use your main application object to run a routine to check for the flag an if true, call that form before anything else is executed. You might also consider using a system flag as a property of the oApp which if true diables all functionality until the data path is set.

Does that help?
