>>I have a Visual Foxpro database on a network drive and I wish to create a "Demo" version of the program that our president can carry around on his laptop for demonstration purposes. This will require changing the path of the database (and all it's tables). Is there any way to do this without going into every form and report and changing the data environments?

Try using :
DBName=(Full Path to your database)
OPEN DATABASE (DBName)
SET DATABASE TO (DBName)

I've had reasonable results with this method. It works OK if you're running a stand alone APP and the hardwired path doesn't exist.
