Is there somewhere in the LDM where it's possible to set the
relative location for files and indexes, in relation to the
running executable directory?

Hi Kevin,
there are serveral ways to go for you.
1. Defines more than one connection in the Analyze
2. Use HDescribeConnection/HOpenConnection together with HListFile/HChangeConnection (my way)
2. Change the properties of your connection (=> YourConn..Ct???)

Hi Kevin,
I would suggest the following code in the project initialization section:
sExeDir,MyDataDir are string
MyDataDir="\data\"
//get the program running directory
IF OnTestMode() THEN
// In test mode the execution directory is returned
sExeDir = fCurrentDir()
ELSE
sExeDir = ExeInfo(exeDirectory)
END
HSubstDir("?",sExeDir+MyDataDir)
Regards,
Piet
