There is no suggestion as to where to put the DBC's. However, I wouldn't think you would want to mix your SourceSafe database files with DBC and DBF files which you actually need to distribute to the end user's site.

The data has to be on the network, but the install program puts the program +dlls on the local harddrive. I've been thinking of deleting the local app.exe after installation and having one exe on the network along with the data tables.

Be careful, I have experienced some major performance problems when moving the VFP EXE off the local machine.
