Hi Cecil:
I wrote an App where every Workstation had a different mapping, etc., and there was a startup DBF on their local drive containing the appropriate path. In the BeforeOpenTables event of the DE I put code like:
THIS.Cursor1.Database = Search_path
THIS.Cursor2.Database = Search_path
THIS.Cursor3.Database = Search_path
THIS.Cursor4.Database = Search_path
...
...
...for every Cursor involved; this 'hot-mapped' the Table(s) and was very fast in run-time.
HTH,

>I have a DBC which contains all the views I need for a Project Inquiry form (these are construction type projects). I set a path, depending on which company the Purchase Order people pick (meaning company as far as what part of the company the Purchase Order person is in). So, once this path is set, all data is taken from that path.

>My problem is this: There are two main files that are in a different path (folder) than the majority of the files. How do I get the right table to be opened (everything is set to AutoOpenTables = .T.) for my parameterized view? What happens is the table in the main path keeps opening and it is the wrong table. I thought that when I set up my original view and pulled the table from the path Y:\WACORP\NC that it would look there, but this obviously means nothing.
