Thanks for your reply.

What you replied is very close to what I want to do. Having tried manually to change the local directory to do the same thing but it does not affect the database which is selected until one exits the program and restarts. As I understand from my probing the SetDBCPath looks as though it should change the path based upon the database selected. What I have not found is when a application starts up is where that code runs.

Thanks
Jon
