I do have a config built in with resource off.

The reason turned out to be the "start in" for the shortcut. Fun to find in

windows 8. Once I fixed it as the same directory as the exe all was well. I

don't know why it starts in system32 though. That's just daft

Allen,

Do you have an included CONFIG.FPW file that contains RESOURCE=OFF?

Do you need the Resource file during your application?

Is there now a FOXUSER.DBF in the folder in question?
