The generic idea is following:
*** DE.BeforeOpenTables event
Local cDatabasepath
cDatabasepath=config.datapath && some configuration table setting
Thisform(set).SetAll("Database",cDatabasepath,"Cursor")
Note: it will work if all DE tables are part of DBC. If you have free tables you should check for them, and reset Cusros.Cursorsource properties.
