I had a problem with invalid resource and a post telling me that I needed

to delete the foxuser file.

I found several foxusers.

The machine had a copy of vfp8 installed. I had a program that started a

.exe in a local folder.

Which foxuser was to be used?

Hey Tracy,

Yes, understood about it normally being auto-created, and it's what I

figured. I guess that raises the question as to why Jerry wanted to know

where it was located.

Jerry - were you looking for it and just couldn't find it?

Kurt,

Usually auto-created if not already there.

Most of the time, the Runtime really doesn't need the FoxUser table.

Only when you customize the default toolbars (i.e. Report Preview) you need

to have it.

One would turn off the FoxUser for a runtime by embedding a Config.Sys in

the executable.

In the Config.Sys you would need the line:

Resource=Off

I have a special FoxUser table embedded in the executable that I set just

before bringing up a Fox report in a preview window. I use SET RESOURCE TO

the embedded filename. VFP doesn't error. I also SET RESOURCE OFF right

after the report preview is closed.
