>>What I suggest is to put a copy of config.fpw (the same as in the directory with exe) in the project - this will ensure that the same config.fpw will always be used (the one in the exe). As for putting tables in the project, ONLY put tables in which WILL NOT be altered (fixed reference tables, fixed lookup tables, etc). I just re-read the bit about config.fpw - use SYS(3) to identify where you are and then you (hopefully) should be able to find the data from there (or at least open a file there to tell you where the data is).

What I mean by the last sentence is that SYS(3) will return the current directory. You can use this to identify where you are - I may be going in the wrong direction here though looking at your response. I use SYS(3) as the basis for relative paths for data stored in other directories.
