It sets up the DOS environment for VC and is part of Visual Studio. On
my system I have it in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin (VS.NET 2K3)
And
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin (VS6)
Note that if you can it's better to use VC++6 as the required runtimes
are generally already on most machines.

You can't abstract it into a macro or function - i.e. in your forms have
something like
EXECUTE("SELECT * FROM " + FixName("MyTable"));
(bearing in mind I know nothing about Paradox)?

OK, thanks. 1 tick box will probably do though :-)
