Did You try in Load Event of the Form, or BeforeOpenTables event of the DE to put:

  data_path = "F:\data03\01\2004\YourData.DBC"
  thisform.SetAll("DataBase", data_path, "Cursor")

This not solve the problem if You have free tables in DE.
Oter way (I use it) When You develop application to put the Data in some folder I am sure that it is never created in users machines. So when I create a for it hardcoded the path to that folder, but when I redistribute the data that folder not exists & all forms get data always from the PATH.
