Hi ALL,
in my application I have a set resource off to avoid FOXUSER.DBf and
FOUXUSER.FPT, although when I run my application this two files are created.
How can I prevent this ?
TIA,
Paul Metz
Is there any way to know what the entries mean in the foxuser=2Edbf? Is there
any harm in deleting any of them? The ones in question for me are as follows:
PREFW WINDSTPROC F 3784320010118
PREFW SCHEMAPOS F 2001320010118
PREFW SCHEMAOPTS F 765920010118
Sometimes my app won't start correctly, looking for a database in the launch
directory, and it's not necessary (because it isn't used prior to the error
point)=2E The code dies on the SET RESOURCE TO line, and I've tracked it down
to this=2E
Thanks in advance,
--Mike

You can delete your FOXUSER.DBF & FOXUSER.FPT file, VFP will recreate them.
You will lose your settings like Command Window size & position, etc.

Yes - you can delete them. I've done it before. Don't remember why I did it
but I know it is possible and, in my case, safe.
The first couple records seem to be the "defaults" that FP wants to use for
fonts and such, but if you delete them it just recreates the records......
HTH,
Matt

Mike,
Yes you can.
Try making a backup of your FoxUser, then delete the records and see what
happens. You can always go back!

Michael,
Sure, I don't see why not. Like you said, if you delete the whole thing it
recreates them.
You have to do a couple of things to access the FOXUSER.DBF like a table.
SET RESOURCE OFF
USE SYS(2005) EXCLUSIVE
* find and mark your records for delete
PACK
USE
SET RESOURCE ON
You may need to restart VFP to get some entries re-created, I'm not sure
about that.

You will user the labels so modi label will have a hard time. There is code
to re-set those layouts but it didn't work in my experience.
