Title:
Program uses wrong files
FoxPros -
I have a development copy of an application on my local C: drive.
The application itself is on the client's server - I can map a drive to
their server and run the app on their server with their data. The
application (VFP5) has been compiled to an .EXE.
Here's the problem - even though I run their copy of the app, it still
finds (and uses) the databases from my local drive. I'm pretty sure this
is because references to the actual table locations are included in the
.DBC. If I temporarily rename my local directory, of course the app can't
find the files and uses the ones in the default location on the client's
server, without a complaint about "Can't find..."
How should I be handling this? I build the .EXE file on my local drive
and then just copy the it to their server. I don't buile the .EXE file on
THEIR server ("Project has moved, make X:\... the home directory?")
because none of the forms, etc are on their server.
