- Kenneth R. Jackson <PUPAPKJ@PACEVM.BITNET> asked:
- Is there a way to tell dBase III+ to save all the files in a
- sub-directory other than the default.
- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-
- The easiest way to do this is to use the dBase RUN command and
- use the DOS change directory command (CD).
-
- For example, if the default at start-up is C:¢dbase, type the
- command from the dot prompt:
- RUN cd ¢newdir or ! cd ¢newdir
- where NEWDIR is the name of the new directory.
-
- If you want the directory to be your default directory at start-up,
- before you start dBase III, set the DOS PATH to the dbase directory,
- change to your target directory (DOS CD command), and then run dBase.
- dBase will use the DOS default as its default.
-
- Sub-directory commands were added to dBase IV.
