Sounds interesting - how does it work?

If a relative path to the database is allowed (and stored properly in the
CFG file), then '.' (= current folder) would solve some problems. Each user
would have his/her own configpath (Engine property), but the path to the
database from there would remove the need for that path to be something that
each user's computer can understand.

One problem, of course, is that '.' would probably be interpreted as the exe
folder. So, the EDBengine would need to get some extra functionality to
interpret '.' as 'my own configpath'.

There are probably many reasons why this can never work ...
