the directory seperator on a Mac is :

so a PC path of

C:\VFPAPPS\PROJECT1\DATA

on a Mac would be

MAC_HD:VFPAPPS:PROJECT1:DATA

where MAC_HD is the name of the hard drive.

**WARNING** Although the Mac is OK with spaces in drive and folder names VFP can get rather upset about them. Remove spaces or replace with underscore.
