OK, the reply (more questioning...) is after your statements.

>>Sorry to bother you again. I am still not "getting" it. I don't understand why it creates the directories. Also, I am not exactly understanding the meanings of it's step during the Wizard Setup.

>>Maybe you could help me in a better "English"? I want to create a one ABC.EXE and put it in O:\ABC\. 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.

So that if we change our system and change the drive letter(s), we would only need to change that &dirpath (one place). I don't hardcode the actual directories in my programs (then gotta remember to change it when need to). This started from FPW 2.6 and was according to the supervisor's way.

>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.

Because the way the supervisor wants it. When I first came in this job, I didn't like the network settings. Even now, we (not me, but our people in our systems) still want to stay that way. Their goal is to make O: and P: accessable to everyone, making O: read-only (can't delete, modify, etc) and P: for all tables and data (including Word, etc). Now, as for why not having it on each PC, the reason is when we (me too) need to update the executable file, we just overwrite in one place, instead of having to make sure "every" PCs is updated.

>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 didn't understand that. I will attempt to try again, but still know I won't success with this. Is the troublesome with the Setup for me because of our (not mine) philology of network setup?

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

Can I still use the Wizard Setup to do this way? Yes, this means 5, 10, 30 people run off the same one executable file off the network (O:\ABC\ABC.EXE).
