CD | CHDIR Command

Example   See Also

Changes the default Visual FoxPro directory to the directory you specify.

Syntax

CD cPath | CHDIR cPath

Arguments

cPath

Specifies one of the following:

• A drive designator.
  
  
• A drive designator with a directory.
  
  
• A child directory.
  
  
• Any of the above using MS-DOS shorthand notation ( \ or ..). When you include .. to change to the parent directory, you must include a space between CD or CHDIR and the two periods.

Remarks

Use CD or CHDIR to specify the default Visual FoxPro directory. Visual FoxPro searches for files in the default Visual FoxPro directory. If Visual FoxPro cannot find a file in the default directory, it then searches the Visual FoxPro path if one has been specified. Use SET PATH to specify the Visual FoxPro path.

If you create a file and don't specify where to place it, the file is placed in the default Visual FoxPro directory.
