Robert,

I think you might be looking for:

application.servername (or _vfp.servername)

Cheers,

Andrew

When I try to set help to myhelpfile it no longer finds my help file which is in a subfolder below my exe's folder. If I launch my exe from it's on folder there are no error messages. When launched from the shortcut, the help file is not found and errors result. I wrote a DLL in Delphi to obtain the true location of my vfp exe, but it seems as though there should be a command in VFP. Sys(5)+Curdir() seems to return the location of the VFP runtime dll.


If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
