Help!!! I recently moved my dBase Plus Tables to a subfolder. Now I am having trouble accessing the dUFLP library. My Primary Folder is:

C:\AllInOne

Tables are in: C:\AllInOne\Tables //My alias setting

The Library is in C:\dUFLP

I am using the AutoIncrement dbf7file.cc to set my start numbers to something other than 1.

The current setting in the custom control is:

class DBF7File(cDBF) of BFile from ":dUFLP:BFile.Cc"

I am getting a "can not find the file error". I had all of this working once, now I am lost.

On the dBASE Menu Bar click on Properties and select Desktop Properties.
In the Desktop Properties dialog window click on the Files Tab. In the
entryfield for Search Path you can have various places dBASE looks to
find files you reference. You can have multiple paths separated by
semicolon characters. You probably have moved your dUFLP files away
from the path you had set up and editing the value to make it correct
should probably fix your problem.

Alternatively you can edit the value directly in the .INI file in your
dBASE install directory in the BIN subfolder. The value is listed as
PATH=.

Do not use a Path. Set up a Source alias :dUFLP: and make sure it points to
the correct path.
See instructions in :dUFLP:readme.txt.

Go to the folder the dUFLP is in, using dBASE -- use the "Look in:"
combobox and tool button on the Navigator. Once there, find the program
file "SetupSourceAlias.prg" and run that. The Source Code Alias for the
dUFLP will now be correct.
