USE statement + Relative Positioning

[Mike555]

I'm not too fluent in FoxPro, and seem to have gotten stuck on this question: Is it possible to specify the path to a table using relative positioning (you know the ../../ stuff) instead of specifying a hard file path?

So instead of having USE c:\folder\tablename I could use ..\..\tableName? Thanks.

Mike,
Yes, but since FPD and FPW can only deal with 8.3 file name path name formating, you'll need to the "short" version of each directory level and the table if it's more than 8 characters or has an embedded space.
