Set Var VdbPath = (CVAL('DBPATH'))
Property aaaID Directory .VdbPath
Works and seems to reset something.
I will check out the FindFile suggestion,
sounds like it should work too.
Thanks
Marc
Don't forget the FILEFIND function. Here is piece of code from one of my
applications. Use it as you will.
SET VAR gvApx TEXT=(FINDFILE('DBDoc76.APX'))
IF gvApx IS NULL THEN
SET VAR vDlgMsg TEXT='Required files missing from PATH:'
SET VAR vDlgMsg=(.vDlgMsg & 'DBDoc76.APX')
SET VAR vDlgMsg= +
(.vDlgMsg + '. Place missing file(s) in PATH. Then restart
application.')
PAUSE 1 USING .vDlgMsg AT CENTER CENTER DEFAULT GRAY ON RED
EXIT
ENDIF

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
