Hi Marvin,

>>It would be nice if FoxPro had a property where you could tell it if the table location is static or relative.

Yes, and no. But it doesn't matter, the DBC stores relative paths. For my own purposes it works out better that way.

>Any ideas how to get around this? Thanks!

Yes, make sure your path statement includes a path to the desired table's location. As long as the table can be found in the path, VFP doesn't care about the relative path in the data environment.
