I have a directory called XFile, There are several forms I use that are linked to other reports ect. in the same directory. Can I change the directory name to YFile and have the links follow the name change? If I change the name that bracks the links correct? Anything I can do besides re linking all the files? Thanks

You might be able to use relative paths. Another option is to have a global variable that contains the directory locaton and then at least if it does change then you only have to change it in one location. Does that help?
