FlexODBC uses a product called the Data Access API to open, read and modify DataFlex files for maximum compatibility. Unfortunately this driver does not support multiple FILELIST's open at the same time. When you open a second FILELIST, it removes the first one from memory.

To open files in two different paths, you can create a special FILELIST.CFG, which references both sets of files by their full pathnames, then change your DFPATH to point to this new FILELIST.CFG. If the two files have the same root names, make sure their "DataFlex Name" is different in the FILELIST.CFG so the ODBC tools can tell the difference between the two files.
