You can ask the user the path (if not known yet) and put it in a file (any file would do, ini, txt, dbf, registry...). ie: Assuming keeping path in 'datapath.txt':

if !file('datapath.txt')
 lcPathDir = Getdir()
 * check for correctness of path etc here
 StrToFile(m.lcPathDir)
endif
set path to (FileToStr('datapath.txt'))
