When I 'USE' the form, the properties for the cursors and view are only relative and not absolute ( database\schedule.dbf and not p:\db\main\database\schedule.dbf), so that seems okay. If I open the form in the form designer and look at the properties of the tables (cursors) and views in the dataenvironment, the properities are disabled and they show the complete path to the table as if it is hard-coded.

My solution is to work off a removable disk (like SyQuest), then just remove
the disk with the development data on it.
