We had the same problem so I made this little program:

lparameters poDataEnvironment
local lnCursors, laCursors(1), lnCnt, lcSource, lcAlias
lnCursors = amembers(laCursors, poDataEnvironment, 2)
for lnCnt = 1 to lnCursors
	lcSource = alltrim(laCursors(lnCnt))+".CursorSource"
	lcAlias  = alltrim(laCursors(lnCnt))+".Alias"
	poDataEnvironment.&lcSource = gPath+"\"+poDataEnvironment.&lcAlias+".dbf"
endfor

Placed it as a program file called cursors.prg and then in the Forms Data Environment in its BeforeOpenTables Event we have following code line:

do prgs\cursors.prg with this

Then gPath was a global variable which contains the path to the data folder. We use free tables though.

>Hi. VFP6. I am writing a multi-user app. I don't want to use the data environment in my forms because the location of the data will change once I "go live". In which method would I code the data environment for my forms? Also, what functionality will I lose (other than drag-and-drop in my form design)?
>Is there another solution? I plan to store my data path in a dbf and use '."\filename'" to load my data.
