>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.


SYS(3) gives you a valid file name, but SYS(2003) works.

I added this to the very beginning of my code:

if "VFP" $ SYS(2003)
cd c:\tripsoft\data
endif

This works!

I found another problem, though. When I run the app from VFP, and then quit the app, the "quit" to quit the app quits VFP as well! Any ideas how to get around that one?

Thanks,
