Hello:
I have an app that has for years been executed out of the
default directory with the data there, too.
Now, I have to give at least the data an arbitrary
location. Can I use SET DEFAULT for this and save having to rewrite
hundreds of table referring statements? Or are there nasty things to
worry about?
I am thinking of having a config table in the startup default
directory that specifies the data directory and then SET DEFAULT to
that directory. When executing a .exe version of the app, I think
this will not cause trouble, but for a debug version with separate
.fxp, I think I also need to SET PATH for the code to be found. I
join all my code together with SET PROCEDURE TO ... ADDITIVE in the
startup .fxp if that makes a difference. Are the gotchas going to get me?
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
