Hi,
After building your app tree, either in config.fpw (if you want to be able to change it without rebuilding exe - way I prefer) or in startup add path statement as follows :
..\..\AppDir\data
..\..\AppDir\bmps && If excluded
..\..\AppDir\report && If reports are excluded changes would be easier
..

- In config.fpw -> path=data;bmps;report;...
- In startup -> set path to data;bmps;report;... && Hard coding could mean rebuilding exe for just a new dir
This way your app is transportable across drives and dirs. Both are relative to AppDir.
