Roxanne,

Silly question time. Did you change the DEVPATH contant in the APPINCL.H file?
If so, did you recompile the complete app?

Told you they were the silly questions.

HTH

>I'm working on a data intensive project with multiple dbc's for different variances of meta data and real data. To organize things, we got 2 subdirectories off of the standard Data subdirectory setup by the framework's QuickStart. At startup, a bunch of tables in one of those extra subdirectories gets opened and the app just isnt finding them without guidance.

I also tried adding the additional subdirs to the standard path in main.prg right after the call to the framework's setup.prg and still nada, just doesnt seem to stick. So to fudge it, we add to the SET PATH list right before we need to grab something from new directories, but still gotta code the first USE cmd with LOCFILE() just to get the data loading kicked off gracefully.
