If you use a data environment with your form, the path will be hard coded in the .DataBase property of each Cursor. You can set this property to your choice in the .BeforeOpenTables event of the Data Environment or in the Form.Load. If you do, set the DataEnvironment.AutoOpenTables = .F.

>>I used 'set default to' specify the directory where my main program stays, and used 'set path to' to specify the place for its database. However, in execution, the program often asks about the place for the database. I don't know why this happen, as there is only one 'set path' command in the whole project.
