You have two backslashes after dBASE2019, which won't be found. You have to be careful with that. In addition "inifile" is not the name of the file you're looking for: PLUS.ini is the name of the file you need. C:\Users\19564\appdata\local\dBASE\dBASE2019\bin\PLUS.ini Assuming the rest of the path is correct. To find this path in dBASE: ? _app.iniFile This may be where some confusion came up -- _app is an object in dBASE (application object), and ".inifile" is a property of that object.
