Alejandro,
Instead just rename original data folder to something else and use 'set path'.
ie: Dataenvironment has 'c:\development\data\myData.dbc' as database path.
If you rename 'c:\development\data' to say ''c:\development\datax' and set path to data folder you want to use, VFP uses tables from your set('path').
PS: And this is version independant.
