All programs, dbfs, menus, etc are on the host. Foxprow files -- just those in fox's main folder -- are on host. Then my PIF looks like this: Target = "C:\Program Files\FPW26\FOXPROW.EXE" -T X.Prg Start in = "Z:\Program Files\FPW26\1\OS\" Another approach is using a test: * *IF SYS(5)+CURDIR()==[C:\PROGRA~2\FPW26\1\OS\] && Note all caps for the path and trailing backslash -- Charles -- Website: TinyURL.com/EnzerMD <http://tinyurl.com/EnzerMD> Teach – by Example Behave so as to Inspire Imitation Modification of Sir Robert Baden-Powell quote<http://thinkexist.com/quotes/sir_robert_baden-powell/> (British Army Officer, founder of the Boy Scouts, 1857-1941)* * * **Stop **Spammers** and **Virus Propagation*** * **Before forwarding, please delete the history of all email address* * * On 4/22/2011 1:49 PM, Rick Schummer wrote: If the Host system is a 64-bit OS the path will start differently "C:\Program Files (x86)\".

I have battled with the concept of having to address different paths on different bit versions of the OSes. I have been leaning on the side of developers being bright enough to figure it out, but have been considering that some developers might not have exposure to a 64-bit box yet. I just got my own a few months back. What do others think?
