Set Path

[paulvdwa]

Hello all,

I try to use SET PATH as following:

SET PATH TO
mpad = ((rstam)+'familie-boek\&naamdb\person1')
WAIT WINDOW mpad
SET PATH TO '&mpad' additive
WAIT WINDOW DBF()

the first WAIT WINDOW returns mpad
the second WAIT WINDOW returns an other table used in the INIT of my form

What is wrong in my code?

regards,

Paul

Paul,

DBF() has got nothing to do with SET PATH. It simply returns the path and filename of the table in the selected work area. Changing the path after you have opened the table won't make any difference.

Also, keep in mind that SET PATH ... ADDITIVE only works in VFP 9.0. In earlier versions, ADDITIVE is ignored.

Mike
