ASPRunnerPro General questions

I'd like to keep my project and my project files on a flash drive. That way I can back them up even easier; I can work on a PC at home and at work and I can also use a laptop if I want.
At the moment it's obviously a problem because my flash drive is drive H on one machine at home, drive F on another and drive E at work. I can transfer the files onto the PC so it's always c:\project or I can edit the project file by hand but that seems like a pain. Or am I missing something?

PS I am solving several problems myself via Google and by reading this forum but my stupid questions are definitely not over yet! <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=4478&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Bob,
I suppose your problem is related to database file which is at different locations on your computers.

In this case you can create a System DSN for your file at each machine and work with this DSN in ASPRunner.
Also there is another solution.

You can create an alias for your flash drive using subst command.

I.e. run this command on your home machine:

subst z: h:\

then open a project from drive Z:

Do the same on your other machines.

subst z: f:\


subst z: e:\

I tried the subst z: approach and it works perfectly. I'll do that in future. Thanks very much.
