Randy or Jerry will tell you if got all that correct or not.

I just wanted to suggest another approach, in case it is relevant.

I have set up several apps where the location of a reference database is
controlled by the user. The app has a Settings menu command, which
brings up a form where the user can specify, or browse for, the location
of the reference database.

The default location is setup as a sub folder of the installation
folder, so it is app.Path & "\Datatases\". The user can change the
location, and their choice is stored in the registry using SaveSetting,
and retrieved using GetSetting.

This kind of approach makes an application highly configurable, so that
a user could use it on a laptop while keeping the reference database on
a server, or whatever they might need. You could even go so far as to
provide multiple configurations.
