>Is is possible to change what the location of the tables are using the data environment depending on how an application is ran. What I a trying to do is to use the DE but I have to be able to point the tables to a production drive location for all of the end users to access, but, when I need to work on issues I need to run the application looking at backup data. What we have now is all the tables opening and setting relations in the load of the form with a variable pointing to the different directions. However, there is quite a number of tables getting loaded and the form is beginning to drag on startup. Any suggestions?

Kelly,
IMHO 'set path' is the easiest solution. If the original folder doesn't exist (rename it) :
set path to ('c:\myPath1')
do form xxx
set path to ('c:\myPath2')
do form xxx
or :
open data 'c:\myPath1\myDatadbc'
do form xxx
This works very well for me with private datasessions.
