To Kevin and everyone else!

I am building a project which is using many free tables that must remain as Fox2x type for now.

I'd like to do the following:
Build the project on my local drive using a local copy of the free tables.
Test the project on my local drive using the real free tables on the network.
Create an .exe and move it up to the network to run from there without the project going back to the local drive to look for the .dbc or the tables.
Be able to switch back to a local drive copy with local tables for continued development.

I have Stonefield installed in this project, but am very new with it, and don't know what Mere Mortals controls and what Stonefield controls.

Other programmers here have written methods that use the addpath() function before any read events to set the network path but this solution doesn't work, perhaps because the .dbc doesn't know what's happening? The user can see the data (sometimes!) but they can't update it.

Last week Kevin talked about using the Metadbc and having one record for each database, which means I'd need one dbc for each scenario? So I'd have to coordinate them and duplicate the views in all of them?
