Hi all! Yes, it's me again. :)

The way this program was set up when I got here, all the tables are external (ie not part of the project) and in a different directory with the executables. To run the program, I need to compile it into an .exe, and then run a batch file that copies it from the development directory into the directory it will run from. Then I have to run the executable.

Because of this, I can't use the debugger. Besides that, it's a pain to go through all that everytime I fix even the tiniest error.

Since I'm converting to VFP 5, I thought I'd take the time to get things set up right. The problem is that I'm not sure what needs to be done.

When I run the executable, it looks at config.fpw and finds that the data is in C:\tripsoft\data. (The executables are in C:\tripsoft)

When I have it run after building, it's running the executable that it makes in the development directory. I put a config.fpw in there, but it doesn't seem to use it.

So, is there a way to tell the program that the data is in another place? Or do I need to make all the tables part of the project and put them in the development directory?

Thanks much,
