      From: jmose@mapson.attglobal.net              Jim,              >So I now have yet another subdirectory, aliased as :TRAVEL:.       >I have 13 such sub-databases.              This might help you. If your forms' data model doesn't use aliases when       defining the table (in effect, defaulting to :WORK:), it will open the tables       from the same folder as the form, regardless of where :WORK: really is.              In your case, you could copy the form to each of your 13 sub-directories,       and each would point to their local data without needing 13 aliases.              For example, create a form called Invoice.fsl, with a data model containing       :WORK:Invoice.db. Copy this to ..\Travel and ..\Contracts.              When you open :Work:Invoice.fsl, it uses :Work:Invoice.db              When you open ..\Travel\Invoice.fsl, it uses ..\Travel\Invoice.db.              When you open ..\Contracts\Invoice.fsl, it uses ..\Contracts\Invoice.db.              HTH,       Jim Moseley              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
