*Description*
-------------
At the moment, when you create a file-based database (such as dBase or
Spreadsheet), the URL to the files (let's call it the "data URL") is
stored in
an absolute manner - that is, something like "file:///c:/foo/bar".
As a result, when you move the database document (the .odb file),
together with
the underlying data, to another machine, you need to either duplicate
the file
structure on this target machine, or to adjust the settings for the
database.
Now it is possible that the path is stored relatively when the option
"Save URLs relative to file system" setting in the
"Tools->Options->Load/Save" dialog is checked.
