>Hi,
> Thank you for your information. I will try it soon.
> Beside, I would like to ask another question. I have 3 applications which may be used in same company. Each of these application will have it own database. The problem here is, these 3 applications may need to access other database which not owned by itself. If I am running it in LAN, how could I get the path of the database? I need to set up each of them for every workstation?
> Again, these 3 applications may need to access a "global" database which store some data of the company, and branches under the company. How could I direct VFP to access this "global" database since we may not know where it store, and we may not able to access server registry from workstation.

Don't use drive mappings. Use UNCs. In this case, your USE statement will look something like:

USE \\MyServer\Folder\Folder\MyTable

or with Netware:

USE \\MyServer\Volume\Folder\Folder\MyTable
