Can I have multiple data environments on a form.
What I am trying to do is use one dataenvironment on a local machine and
then a different environment on a remote machine to access the same data.
So the local machine will access the data on its local drive C: and the
remote machine will access the same tables on a remote machine as drive F:.
The program is installed locally on each machine.
I am using Visual FoxPro 7.

Hi Ted:

I have never heard of a form having two data environments. If this can be
done, I am not aware of a way to accomplish it.

Let's approach this problem differently. Could you parse the SYS(0)
function to get the machine name and then conditionally point to the
whatever location you desire to open the proper tables?

I hope this helps.
