	Bummer. Steve, upgrade, this program is fantastic! In any case, Ray, would my idea work in 2.0?

	I believe it will when used with SetAltImagePath(). -Ray

	You could also change the path in application programming, looking for a unique file or environment variable on the computer Warning....bad syntax follows, just a concept....... If FileExists(Workcomputer\path\filename OR GetEnv= Work, then Image path =ABC If FileExists(Homecomputer\path\filename OR GetEnv = Home, then Image path =XYZ

	Couldn't the path be done in Application program using logic as above and saved as a global variable? Then the global variable could be used in the SetAltImagePath command?

	Steve_in_Texas wrote on Nov 15^th, 2007 at 11:49pm: I need a way to change the 'default image path' based on which machine is being used. 1 machine is running in client/server mode so the image path is simply G:\photos but the other machine (running remotely) is not on the network so the image path needs to be C:\photos. Erika's suggestion to simply use "\Photos" as the image path, is the best solution. But, if for some reason you need to have the drive letter as part of the path for the machine running Client/Server mode, you can share the entire drive where the images reside on the standalone machine, and then map that network share to the same drive letter that is declared in the image path setting.

	Thanks for all the input, but my delimma still exists. At work, my photos are on H: drive (there is not enough space on C: drive to move all the photos to C:) At home, I do not have an H: drive, so all my photos are on C: drive. Just need a quick, easy solution to change the imagepath from H: to C: when I want to take work home. Doesn't seem to exist...at least not in 1.5. :(

	Steve, The solution is to use a relative image path. Photos - Uses the Photos directory under the current working directory. \Photos - Uses the Photos directory on the root of whatever drive you are on.

At home, I do not have an H: drive, so all my photos are on C: drive.[/quote] My previous post addressed this scenario. At home, you can share the root directory of drive C:. Then, use "Map Network Drive" under the Tools menu in Windows Explorer to set that network share (\\MyComputerName\C) as drive H:. You will actually be able to access the same drive as both C: and H: at the same time. This will allow you to leave the application settings the way they are for work.

	Carl, Thanks for explaining. Sounds like that should do the trick! :) Erika - is anyone working in the sales office at Lantica today? (no one is answering the phone) I ordered 8 client seats this morning, but never got them emailed to me. Usually you guys are so fast! Thanks, Steve

Did you use the online form? At any rate, I think that at least one person is out sick today which may slow everyone else down a bit.

	Yes, I ordered online and left a message for someone to call me back. I worked all weekend to prep our office for 2.0, then when all the files were updated and Monday business was beating down our door, I realized that I still needed to buy the client licenses! :( My fault, I know, but if someone can email them over, we would all appreciate it. my order # is 1195491645 placed at 10am this morning. Tanks, Steve
