In that O: "read-only" directory, there will be one table with one field that has the path for the main.prg to open, SET PATH TO &dirpath, close it, then runs the menu... All other tables would be in P:\ABC\*.* (read/write). I want one executable. My next move would be to hire someone to show me how to do it! That's how hard it is for me. It's for VFP 6.0.

Why would you do it this way? What is the significance of reading a path from a single table only to close that down and run some other app in a different path?

What are you SETting PATH TO? P:\ABC? Are you trying to run the APP/EXE from the server? Why? Install the APP/EXE to each workstation and access the data on the server.

As for the Setup Wizard, you are only prompted for 2 paths. The first path tells the Wizard where your installation files are. The second path is to instruct the SETUP where to install the APP/EXE.

I am somewhat confused about what you are really trying to do.
