Hi - I have an app that works fine with this connection string...

Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};SourceType=DBC;SourceDB=\\Emd-2k-01\chrisdevelopment\test\data\youthBASE.dbc;

but if the app is placed in just the folder on the server directly ie.

Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};SourceType=DBC;SourceDB=\\Emd-2k-01\chrisdevelopment\data\youthBASE.dbc;

it appears not to be able to find the data folder...

Any ideas?

Also - (if I get the above sorted) - I hope to create with either VB Package and Deployment Wizard or Visual Studio Installer (or combination of both!) an install routine whereby the whole program is installed on the server first and then a secondary netsetup routine is run on each workstatoin afterwards...

1. Any tips on how to do that...
2. In VB is it best to run the exe across the network (in which case the secondary netsetup needs just to put an icon on the workstation desktop to the exe on the server (with correct start in details..))
or
Is it best for the netsetup to install the exe on the workstation and determine the path to the data in some way...?

Please any help - appreciated!
