Sorry for the late response, been on vacation...
That is what we are doing. I didn't mention it before because some people don't have experience with that.
My problem is my supervisor wants to put the app class in a directory with read execute rights so no one can change it. With the app class on one server and the ini table with the path settings on another server, I am having trouble figuring out how to get the path to the ini table. I can pass the app class path from the launcher. But I would have to do major mods to the launcher to get a fourth path and it would effect the 100 apps already working.

The question is how can I get the paths after the app class is open (remember the app class cannot be modified).

How about I pass 2 parameters and parse into 2 different app properties, then I have access to the ini table. The other issue is getting an include file to work in vfp6. I can't use the define variables when I put the include in the first method call of the app class.

Thanks for the help, Chuck
