Hi Randy

For all of my applications I do have an object (custom) named mytables.. Any new form that I create it is based in a object form named mybasicform.. This one it is already seted opentables/closetables to .f... In the init method it calls

=thisform.mytables.opening()

that cross for all tables declared on dataenvironment..

procedure thisform.mytables.opening
lcpath_of_mytables                = ".."
oform                             = iif(type("thisformset.DataEnvironment")<>"U", thisformset, thisform)
lnind1                            = 1
Do WHILE lnKeepsearch
   lsind                          = ALLTRIM(STR(lnind1,3,0))
   If  type("oform.DataEnvironment.Cursor&lsind")="U"
       lnKeepsearch               = .f.
       Loop
   Endif
   O                              = oform.DataEnvironment.Cursor&ind2
   If   TYPE("O")<>"U"
	lcFILE                    = allt(O.cursorsource)
	lcFILE                    = FORCEPATH(justfname(lcFILE), lcpath_of_mytables)
	lcalias                   = allt(O.alias)
	If  type("lcalias")="C"
	    If  empty(lcalias)
		lcalias            = juststem(lcFILE)
            Endif
	Endif
	If  USED(lcalias)
	Else
            sele 0
            If  O.exclusive
		Sele 0
		Use (WFILE) alias (walias) exclusive
	    Else
		Sele 0
		Use (WFILE) again alias (walias) shared
	    Endif
        endif
   endif
   *
enddo
endproc

From this point you can create a INI file to set the desired places for your free tables on lcpath_of_mytables variable..
