Foxpro will use Minimum pathing to locate tables. This means that if the data is on the same logical drive as the EXE, all Fox will store for the DE is the shortest path to acquire the data, such as :

..\DATA\MyDatabase.dbc

It doesn't care about any of the above layers of Directories. However, the problem arises if you have your test environment data on another logical drive, for example your EXE is on:
G:\MyProject\MyEXE.EXE

and your data is on:
H:\MyProject\DATA\MyTestTable.dbf

Then Fox will store in the DE:

H:\MyProject\DATA\MyTestTable.dbf

Try to keep programs/data together with the SAME directory structure and you can move freely between drives.
