Hi there :)

You can construct path at run time.
So if your images are stored under let say

\\SomeMachine\myImages

you keep for EACH USER variable part of that path (in ini file ,txt ,dbf or whatever u use) - and then you construct full path at run time.

So in this organisation in the ini file you wld store variable part of the path - prefix or root if you want.

'\\SomeMachine'
'F:\'
'G:\'
.
.
or whatever are mappings.

And then at run time you wld simply construct path
by adding 'myImages' to whatever is the prefix path.


cRootPath = read_images_root_path() &&function u will build :)
cRealPath = addbs(cRootPath)+'myImages'


I am using this solution for databases as well.
