Thanks for the information - and it is quite a mouthful!

> Second thing you may need to look at: If you are using "batch" data entry and if your user can save batches to his/her local C:\ drive, you may need to look at changing the directory that your store these tables in. For example, if your users save their batch data to C:\MyApp\LocalData\MyBatchTable.dbf this will work perfectly if you are in a LAN situation and the users are working on their own machines. If they are logging in with TS, all of your TS users are going to log onto the same machine and therefore will all be looking at the same C:\MyApp\LocalData\MyBatchTable.dbf. You may need to move this to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\MyApp\LocalData. Take a look at GETENV([APPDATA]) in VFP Help - it will provide you with that directory:

> lcLocalAppDataDir = ADDBS(GETENV([APPDATA]))+[MyApp\LocalData]
> lcLocalBatchFileName = ADDBS(lcLocalAppDataDir)+[MyBatchTable.dbf]
