Richard,

As Craig mentioned, you can set this environmental variable in the CONFIG.FPW. However, if the program is in FoxPro's working directory, which should be the same as the executable, then FoxPro should find it even without a configuration reference. After doing a couple of tests, it seems that it ignores both the DOS and FoxPro path settings and only looks in the working/startup directory.

hth,
