I like the fact that it searches current directory before DBPATH. It allows for users to access .frm files I include without the possibility of over-writing them by creating new forms in their "workdir" directory with the same name. If they _do_ create a form with the same name as one I include, it "overrides" my default form. Tout it as a feature!! I _WOULD_ rather have a FRMPATH variable that acts like the unix PATH variable (separate from DBPATH) ... and an ARCPATH would be cool too. -- gburnore@garys.arasmith.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How you look depends on where you go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary L.
