In that case, now I need to rewrite the path to those files again because dataTYPES defines the location of folder and files in absolute path. \r\n\r\nDo you think that it is worth considering to use relative path, instead of abslote path, to define the location of files and folders in dataTYPES in mrVista code (perhaps we need to change somewhere around mrInit)? Or, are there any existing codes for doing that? "}}
