>I have an application running Foxpro tables on a file server. Currently I reference a mapped drive in the data environment of my forms that run on each client. Because I've mapped the drive, the client can see the files in Windows Explorer. Is there a way to hide the source of the data while continuing to use Foxpro tables?

if you only have to reference data you might try:
use \\ServerIP\SharedFolderName\DataFolder\Table.dbf
you do not need to map the path so the user does not see it in the explorer

hope that helps
