It should be. :-)  I always used to do this until I stopped using .dbf tables several years ago.  I now only use Firebird for all my own data. With a single .fbd file, irrespective of how many tables are involved, it doesn't really serve much purpose in creating a sub-folder for it. Most of my programming over the past 15 years or so has, however,  been to create small turnkey examples for the newsgroups.  It was less hassle to create the table in the folder the example was saved to.  Having the path included willy nilly in a query's SELECT statement was a PITA as I had to manually remove it before I could post an example.  In the end I created a little program to do this for me.
