I am having some problems with a PATH statement, and searched and found this thread. While VFP seems to accept a path statement longer than 255 but shorter than 1024, it doesn't seem to actually work with a statement longer than 255. IOW, the additional paths are in there, but they don't get searched. Can anybody confirm this?
