Mike,
Well I always have my default folder set to the application folder which
looks like the following:

Application Folder
  !
  + Data Folder
    ! <all the dbf files>
  + Reports Folder
    ! <all the report files>
  + Lib Folder
    ! < any external libraries or OCX's required>
  !
  ! Application.exe

Then I have my set path to be ..\Data; ..\Reports; ..\Lib

This means that the Data folder is always looked into first (or in fact
another data folder which needs to be accessed somewhere else).

Dave -- you specially craft your SET PATH statement for this, right?
