>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.

SET PATH is global. Once you've set the path in main, there is no reason to set it again anywhere else in the app.

Never, never, never hardcode a drive letter or network name in code.
Never do it in the SET PATH in app code either, especially for multiuser.
In this case, since the app should start from the projectname directory, the SET PATH should look like this:
SET PATH TO reports, forms, data, [etc]

If fixing this means going back and changing a bunch of code, do it. You'll be glad you did.
