Rather than setting the path in code, try creating a file named config.fpw, which will serve as a configuration file for your program. In that file (a simple text file), add a line similar to:

PATH=c:\projectname\data;c:\projectname\forms;c:\projectname\reports

or

PATH=data;forms;reports

You can use the latter if your executable exists in the c:\projectname directory.

Use the -c command line option to tell your program where its configuration file exists.

>OK, I'm running into a couple of issues with paths. The first is that I've tried setting my path: SET PATH TO "C:\projectname,C:\projectname\data,C:\projectname\forms,C:\proj..." in numerous places such as in the code that I set as main, in options from the designer window, and in form inits.
