HI Jim

I never thought of that but I would hate to do all that work.
Trying to save energy you know!

I was thinking about CVAL currDir or something, then
do the Property command on the 3rd tab to reset it back to the
correct dir.

Leave it to me to so something strange.

Thanks
Marc

Marc,

Not sure about the property command. However, In my application I actually set a global variable with the full path to the ".APX" file such as set gvapx text = 'c:\appdir\Prog7.apx'. Then I would use:
Run Outone in &gvapx
That way no matter what the user (or even worse me) does with directores my application knows where the ".APX" file is located. I got this idea from a long ago technical document. It was a lot of work to convert the application, modifying forms, reports, labels, and command file. Now the only time I occasionally trip up is when I am modifying a form or report and forget to set the global variable.

Hi

Does    PROPERTY scpathid directory .vscanpath
change the default folder RBase looks for APEX files?

I have a Tab form with 4 tabs, on Tab 3 I have a Drop down
menu to print reports the EEL is like this
Run Outone in Prog7.apx  --select printer...
Print Report...

On tab 4 I use the Property ID Directory command to set a
default
folder to view files in a File list view.

If I click on the 4th tab that run this Property command
then click on
Tab 3 the Run Outone in Prog7.apx fails to run and I get an
error saying
can't find it in the folder from the Property command.

If I click on the 3rd tab first it works fine.

What am I missing?
Marc
