Hi,

Let me know your opinion on the following situation.

I am the system analyst and perform all the in house application design, deployment,
and support.
I normally via a form, have a central setup form allowing the user to configure global
features and options within the application I am coding. Part of this setup is the
UNC to the server location where the database and tables are stored. This is
done in the normal manner with the normal GetFile( ) function to auto-fill in
the server path and database name to a memory variable and then used to
set the default path correctly.

I have another individual in my team that for what-ever reason is insistant that
the server path be controlled via a locally setup environmental variable as oppose
to a user definable selection in my setup form, and I get the path with the
a GetEnv( ) function to read in the path.

I would appreciate you expert opinion on this from a software application
perspective please.
