Hello,
I had converted some forms to pick up libraries and templates
from the file system. I have discovered that some of my forms expect the template files to be found in one place while others
require the same files to exist in another place and will fail compiles with FRM-18108 when they don't exist where expected.
The problem is I want them all to look for these templates in one place but cannot seem to find where this path is set.
Any help?

One last attempt...
First I have read every entry here and on Google concerning
FRM-18108...yet my issue does not seemed to be addressed.
Here with a bit more detail is the breakdown.
I have a bunch of forms in directory:
.../ImFm/AA
I have a couple libraries and a couple form templates
utilized by the forms above stored in directory:
.../ImFm
When I compile the templates and libraries the resultant
executables are put into the directory:
.../forp
I then compile the forms for directory AA above and
most compile cleanly and leave their executables also in
.../forp
Now if all form compiles are successful all these executables
are moved to copied also to directory
.../form
However, because a couple forms do not compile; this copy
to the .../form directory does not happen. Those that do not compile give me the 18108 error because they are looking for
the templates in the .../form directory and they do not exist their yet...where those that do compile look in the .../forp
directory and thus do find them. I know this because if I copy the compiled template to the .../form directory; I can get the
failing forms to compile.
.../forp already exists in my FORMS path...adding .../form to it is not the solution as the templates still would not be found there as they wouldn't exist there yet.
Something is telling these specific forms to look in the .../form directory for the templates while I want them to
specifically look in the .../forp directory for the templates like all the other forms do.
I want to to know what that Something is.
I'm rambling..tired...and frustrated...whatever happened to Informix? ;o)
Any help appreciated.

No.
The problem of the compilation of those couple forms still
looking in the wrong directory for their templates still
exists. I am just living with having to make sure I have the
templates, once compiled, moved to both places so those looking in either place can find them.
This is a workaround but not the fix I was looking for.

I suggest that you make a copy of one of these problem forms. Then you open it in the form builder and at the form level have a look at the Subclass Information. I believe that this is pointing to a directory and file name combination. Change it to just the file name and see if that fixes your problem.
Basically, when the form was created, it was done against a reference form and the 'path' was NOT removed.
It is possible that this referencing has been done at the block or item level.
Alternative: convert your form to XML, use a good 'flat' editor to find the paths and delete them. Then convert the XML back to a form.
