>>we're network testing a new app. we have development copies of the data, programs, etc. locally. the dbc files hold DATA as the data directory (directly under the app). When we run the network version, the .exe finds the local data, not the network data. the config.fpw references only the network app directory, the network data directory, and c:\temp for temp files. i've done VALIDATE DATABASE on the network copy, but it still finds the local data.
