*** DE.BeforeOpenTables event
local cDatadir
select config && configuration table (open at start of App)
cDatadir=alltrim(config.datadir)
thisform.setall("database",cDatadir+"upts.dbc","cursor")
Note: this will work properly if all DE.cursors are dbc-included tables(views). If you use free tables, you should reset Cursor.Cursorsource properties.
