I am upgrading Dbase IV apps that run multiple instances of the data
tables on the same drive and the end user creates the directories and
installs the tables. In the dos versions, I used a macro to let the user
substitute the desired directory...Use &vpath\tablename. Is there a way
to do this using the SQL "select * from tablename". Now that I have the
app almost completed I find that I can't redirect the statement. I also
tried Set Path and apparently SQL doesn't see that.

Any help would be appreciated!
