I have an app. I set the default diretcory and the path.
Default directory is c:\{program installed location
Path is r: (remote drive on server
I placed a copy of one of my db's from the app on my local root c: directory to check for an error in data from one of my clients. So, now I have a copy in my own c: and in the program dir. Interestingly enough, when I start my app on my local machine, it reads the db in the c: root directory first instead of the copy of the same file in my default directory
I can verify this by place a copy of a db with one set of data in the root and another copy of the same db with different data in the default dir. When accessing this db, it reads the data from BOTH db's and merge's the data it together in the view
Has anybody ever seen this before? Is there any way of preventing Fox from "looking" anywhere except in the Default Dir and the Path Dir
Thanks in advance

If your app uses form dataenvironments then this is the problem
associated with them. The path to the database you developed with is
hardcoded in there!
There are various workarounds, it will require some effort of you.
The easiest, is if you move/hide/rename your development database and
put the one you want to look at in the (VFP) path.
The nature of the beast I'm afraid 8-(
