Here a few lines of code where I set the path using :

sys(5) Returns the current Visual FoxPro default drive.
sys(2003) Returns the name of the current directory on the default drive.

gcpathexecnavwordpro = SYS(5)+SYS(2003)+"\"

IF !FILE(gcpathexecnavwordpro+"debug.txt")
_SCREEN.VISIBLE = .F.
ENDIF
SET CLASSLIB TO gcpathexecnavwordpro+"Libs\NavWordPro" ADDITIVE


On the desktop of my user I set a shortcut with the right properties for the path:

Target : "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Vfp98\VFP6.EXE"
Start in : d:\bao_w\navwordpro

for another user I can put my program on drive H: and change the shortcut to reflect the change

Start in : H:\bao_w\navwordpro

This way I can change drive and directory anytime without touching a line of code.

If I move the application on a user machine from d:\bao\myapp to g:\test\ddc\myapp I just make the change on the shortcut on desktop of my user.

>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.
