Hi Edward,

Thanks for the reply...I'm not sure if I understand. I want to be
able to run this application from many workstations. Do you mean I
need to install the program locally on each machine? If I do this I
will have a data subdirectory on each local machine. I guess I could
then delete the local data subdirectories and add to the path the
server's data subdirectory? This just doesn't sound like an efficent
way to do this. Sorry to be so stupid about this...I'm new to the
world of Visual Foxpro and Windows for that matter.

Thanks in advance for any help here,

Paul Acton
