Stick to one hard drive, please!!

[cold25]

I have created a Delphi database program that opens .dbf tables to a DBGrid. It also can create new .dbf tables, which it then displays nicely on the DBGrid. The problem is this: the computer has 2 hard drives, C & D. Even though I installed Delphi to the D drive, it demands I create the directory path
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\Data
and place the .dbf table that I plan on interacting with there, or it raises an exception when I open the existing table and run a query. Also, when I create a new .dbf table, it creates the new table on the C drive in the aforementioned directory. It seems that some pointer or something is making it interact with the aforementioned directory path on the C drive, even though I just want it to stick to the D drive. How can I make it just stick to the D drive? Can I do this through one of my components' properties, or where? Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I’m completely puzzled on this and it’s obviously a problem that affects everything.

Thanks,

Hi

Did you give the table the right DatabaseName (in the form 'D:\TempDir\') when creating it?

Thanks for your reply. Right after my post yesterday, I stumbled onto the DatabaseName property in the table creation section and noticed that it was set to nothing relevant to what the user would be doing. I figured that out, saw your reply and applied it to what DatabaseName is set to when I open a file, which was nothing at all.
It seems to work perfect now. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it a lot!
