Hi.........

I've just been given a great job of configuring one of our legacy old
apps for TS.

The problem is this apps is one of those in house written programs that
doesn't really support a TS environment and I'm stuck on how to
configure this thing.....

The prog is called Mass Mutual. Its a FoxPro dB program that by default
installs into c:\siswin with all the app and dB files in that
directory. The way it works is that each user needs to write to their
own dB files located in c:\siswin\data....

I've read through the TS doco but don't really have a clue where to
start....for these legacy non-ts compliant apps.

If anyone can give me some advice I'd greatly greatly appreciate
it......

Not sure what to do...... do I install the app under admin to the
admin profile or how????

Is it possible to redefine the searchpath from c:\siswin\data to
something like H:\data? If you can do that (within the FoxPro
application), then you can copy the \data folder into every users
home directory (H:\ in this example).
If c:\siswin\data is hardcoded, your chances of getting this to
work are small.
