>That would be nice if you could set the path to something longer than 1,023 characters. Since we can't we're stuck using relative pathing. Otherwise our clients could never run the app from a location such as "F:\ThisNetworkPath\MyApplicationFolder\ApplicationNumber1234567890".

Last one then I give up. Help says it only for Mac but it works for windows too. If you figure out a drive letter that isn't used then you can do
SET VOLUME X TO F:\ThisNetworkPath\MyApplicationFolder\ApplicationNumber1234567890
Now VFP will treat drive X as the application path. So in your path statement you can now sub X:\ FOR F:\ThisNetworkPath\MyApplicationFolder\ApplicationNumber1234567890
