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?

Yeah, but relative pathing gets screwed up in an app where the current path might change at any time. My framework has absolutely no dependencies on the current path, so using relative paths in my path statement doesn't help much. Thanks though.
