Too true.... to get around that I have in place a default boot up which predefines data and drive locations based on application needs. Sort of like one of the previous thread messages had... but it is an independant object created as part of the 'compiled' program. It insures .scx/.frx files have the correct map based on the ultimate destination - before compiling/recompiling the form. I generally do not copy from one app to another per say... I just use a framed form without DE details... a bit slower but helps solve problems before they happen... :-)
