Title:
Paths - Relative, Absolute and Misleading
When examining the CursorLocation property in the Properties field of an Scx (after 'browsing' it just like it was a Dbf) - I see that the path is relative. For example: ..\Lookups\CityCodes.Dbf
But when modifying the form, the Properties sheet shows an absolute path, starting with a drive letter.
If I have a project open on my local drive and build 'to' a server, there are occasionally what appear to be back-links to tables in my development environment.
Finally, and most annoying - when I attempt to Trace through source code using the Debug window I get 'Source not available', unless I CD to the folder with the relevant file (I tried several Set Path permutations)- which of course screws everything else.
Is this just as non-sensical in VFP7? Any body like to comment on this?
TIA.
Pete.
VFP 6 SP5, NT4 SP6.
