I have been using a DOS database program called Dataease since 1986. I have recently run into a problem running the program from a flash drive when I take the flash drive from one computer to
another. The batch file is as follows:

cd\temp
del *.tmp
cd\
call F:\Depro\de16m.exe Orders SalesPad Frank FH

Each computer seems to recognize the flash drive as a different letter or drive location. Could you please tell me if it is possible to insert some type of input commandin the line where I call the program from a specific drive?
In the code herein I am running on drive F however at my office I would like to run the program from drive M. So what I am asking is if I can call the program from any drive
input letter?
Thanks for any consideration you might give my question.
