This is the second message, in this scenario, I'm trying to run the EXE file for the application that I'm migrating from standalone to Network version on each local PC and the data lives on the Network (drive H)

This is a Windows 98 peer to peer environment so the "server pc" is also a client workstation. So I built the EXE at the "server pc" and copy the EXE to each workstation. When I run the EXE from any workstation, with VFP 6 installed or VFP 6 runtime installed (all SP5) I get the following errors and then the EXE crashes:

File C:avsappincl.dbf does not exist
Alias Appincl is not found
Variable string is not found
Function argument value type or count is invalid
Operator/Operand mismatch
Variable 'LCNEWPath' is not found
File c:avsappincl.dbf does not exist
Alias Appincl is not found
Variable string is not found
Function argument value type or count is invalid
CRASH -- app goes away.....

First of all appincl.dbf lives in C:avsavsinclude on the 'server pc' so I assume I need to check for hard paths in the project and then recompile....

PLEASE ADVISE WHERE TO START looking for everything that might not have been updated pathwise when I moved the project to the server pc.

I compiled off my development pc and took the project apart removing databases etc and adding them back in from the new "network" location but that doesn't seem to have captured everything!

Thanks for any help!!!!
