Many applications require a search drive mapped to the applications directory. Instead of mapping every letter in the alphabet we have discovered a trick. The idea is to create a floating drive letter that you move into the application that needs it.
I map a drive W that I call my work drive. I initially set it to the same directory as my home directory. But when I need an extra search path I set it to point to the application as follows:
NovMapRoot('W','P:\WINDOWS')
Using this method it isn't necessary to modify your search path. You
always search through drive W but where W is moves with your
applications. If you need more than one extra search drive you can have
several floating drives.
You might want to include some drive mapping commands at the beginning of your main menu to put the floating drives back to default directories. This way you don't run into problems where a menu choice doesn't work right after running another menu choice.
