to test what i said copy this code and execute it: you can see there is 2 "\" addbs() works only on what its applied not in the second independent term of the path.

local m.myvar
text to m.myvar noshow
messagebox(ADDBS( JUSTPATH(SYS(16,0))) +"\form5.scx")
_cliptext=ADDBS( JUSTPATH(SYS(16,0))) +"\form5.scx"
endtext

strtofile(m.myvar,"test.prg")

do test

ADDBS( JUSTPATH(SYS(16,0))) this adds already a slash ("\") to the path and you add another slash with "\form5.scx" can do do form ADDBS( JUSTPATH(SYS(16,0)))+"form5.scx"

or use relative path or locfile() function

do form form5 with ...

VFP uses relative pathing and also search paths. If it is in current directory then would be the first one to be picked by VFP.
