Subject Re: SET PATH TO C:\OPD From Andy Taylor <andy.taylor@which.net> Date Sun, 22 Apr 2018 13:09:37 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Mustansir, The "set path to" command merely gives an alternative place to find files that are not in the current folder. Note that the presence of your compiled exe within c:\OPD1 does not guarantee that the "current folder" is c:\OPD1. You can check by putting msgbox(set("directory")) in your startup file. By the way, you don't state what your problem is; so I'm only guessing at it. Andy > Dear All > > My compiled exe file is in C:\OPD1.  In my startup prg file if I put following command SET PATH TO C:\OPD, does it not mean that all tables that are in the prg file  OR in all subsequent forms called from prg will be (if not associated with database) searched first in the current folder and if not found will be searched in the folder defined by SET PATH TO C:\OPD. > > Best Regards > Mustansir
