I'm having two problems with frx2any both having to do with relative file locations vs absolute.

1. In the VFP report writer dataenvironment it shows the absolute location of the data file. And the report runs fine in VFP but when I run frx2any I get unable to instantiate dataenvironment. If "USE"/hack my reports FRX file the EXPR field for dataenvironment uses relative coordinates like ..\..\ar\inventory.dbf. If I change those coordinates to absolute coordinates like f:\apps\ar\inventory.dbf then frx2any works fine.

2. I'm having the same problem with graphic files as well. But if I "hack" the FRX file and change the coordinates to absolute the problem goes away.

The problem is, it's a pain in the a** to edit the FRX file everytime I make changes to a report. Any ideas?

Thanks!
