Hi all

Could anyone clarify the following for me:

Q1. Is DBPaths.DBF required or not? (I was not able to start my distributed app without DBPaths.DBF and then I had to manually modify the paths to reflect DATA, SECURITY and CBMeta respectively)

Q2a. Is it required to be distributed to the clients (who may have installed into a path not known at development time, see above)?
Q2b. If so then is it supposed to be ZAPped and then distributed (as it contains development time paths, see above)?

Q3a. If DBPaths.DBF is required then what does the path for local and remote in Users Preferences mean?
Q3b. If both of them are there (as it is right now) which of them takes precedence?

Q4. If the paths in User Preferences is not used, then how to find out if local or remote DBC is used on a given machine from DBPaths using functions and not simple brute force of opening and seeking DBPaths.DBF?

Q5. <g> Answers to any other questions that may arise after more experience with DBPaths.DBF and User Preferences?
Regards
Bhavbhuti
