You need to know the location of the data, say lcLocation then:
If you're using a DBC it's just
open database (addbs(lcLocation) + "mydbc")
use table1 in 0
use table2 in 0
If you're opening tables explicitly then then:
use (addbs(lcLocation) + "table1") in 0
use (addbs(lcLocation) + "table2")

Gene,
Again, I am not a VFP developer, but my understanding from the
Clipper/VO/X# XBase fork:
SET DEFAULT change the path where when not specifying a path, will
determine where it will first look at trying to find the file. The
default is the Executing directory.
SET PATH is used

and found that the value to be saved
is returned by CURDIR() rather than SET('DEFAULT'). It gets restored with
"SET DEFAULT TO." That explains why things weren't working for me! Somehow
it seems better terminology could have been chosen!
Thanks,

This communication is intended for
Set default to
Won't work if the directory path name contains spaces so better to do:
Set default to (saveDef)

HackFox7 says:
"For some reason, SET("DEFAULT") has never been enhanced to keep up
with the times. It still returns just the drive with no path. No extra

provides the path. Even better, the undocumented SET(&qu

on GETFILE and it appears that specifying the path to
a specific folder is not a valid use. One needs to "SET DEFAULT TO" the
desired path in a separate operation and then call GETFILE with the desired
extension. This appears to work but when I tried to save and restore the
setting
Try this:
m.SaveDef = set('DEFAULT')
set default to ...
do your thing
then get back with
set default to
or
set default to (m.SaveDef)
