>If I set oApp.lUseDBCMgrMetaData=.T. does it get the path from the metadbc.dbf or from the cLocalPath/cRemotePath properties? Or is the metadbc table path the default with the cLocalPath/cRemotePath used as overrides...i.e. what is the relationship between them?

It gets the path from either the cLocalPath or cRemotePath field in the MetaDBC. Which one depends on your DataEnvironment.lUseLocalData. You should have one or two (we use two, one for our Client-specific dbc's and one for our common dbc) main data environments that you subclass for all others. Set the property there and all others will inherit the setting.
-Hope that helps!
