I usually do VFP apps in Visual FoxExpress, and I guess it take care of the following problem, which I'm sure has a simple solution, but it escapes me know.
My VFP app runs fine on the test system. When I network the app, i.e. make the test folder shareable on the net, and run the EXE from another PC, I get:
"c:\documents and settings\bob\desktop\parents.dbf can not be found".
Parents.dbf being the file, for this example, that I'm trying to open. This has happened on two nets.
How do I set the PATH or DEFAULT in the app to the folder the EXE is in, so networked apps can find the files. SET PATH and SET DEFAULT don't appear to be working, but I'll keep trying.
