I guess, you have to search for the file in all directory on all avalable local drive. In UT KB section you can see in API section how to catch ALL available local harddisk. Then, you sould search for the file name in all directories. You can do it with ADIR() ASCAN() functions in a reqursive manner.

Thank you (Bela and Vinod), but that kind of solution I could also figure out. I was wondering exactly about the existence of some GetFilePath API function.
I'm not used to deal with API functions, but I know the Vfp installation process writes information on the win registry files (there is for sure a GetFileVersion function). So, if it also stored the path in somewhere at the registry, it would probably be more practical and secure to get it from there.
I mean secure because the user can perfectly have a backup, so the way you have suggested could get the "wrong" path (since I need to do maintenance only on the data files originally installed).
Thanks again,
Renato
