Try home() function. Diring installation directories may differ. home() returns all different directories, not only VFP executable path.

>I have an interesting problem. I am trying to write a program that modifies the builder.dbf table to add my own builder to it. However, when I did that, I was assuming that the location of the builder.dbf was going to be sys(2004)+"wizards\builder.dbf". It just happened that on one machine I found out that that is not true. Somehow I had two installations of VFP on that machine and the one where VFP was running was picking up the builder.dbf from the other installation. I have no idea how this happened, I guess at some point that table was corrupted or missing and it prompted me for the location of builder.dbf and I pointed it to the wrong installation. So, the question is, what is the correct, for sure, method of determining the location of builder.dbf?

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
