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?

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? -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tracy Pearson Sent: Monday, July 20, 2015 4:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Foxuser Kurt Wendt wrote on 2015-07-20: > It's generally found in the Root folder of a VFP application! > > -----Original Message----- > From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > jerry foote > Sent: Monday, July 20, 2015 2:48 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Foxuser > > Where should the file foxuser be located? > Thanks Jerry > 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.
