I guess the deal is that if I open VFP by clicking on a .PJX file, it seems
to always open in the same dev environment, but if I open VFP by clicking on
the VFP icon, I can get a new development environment. The challenge is that
because I work on so many different projects I use unique config.fpw files
to set the paths and other custom settings for each project. That means if I
start the project from the folder where the config.fpw is located, all the
settings are controlled by the config.fpw stored in that folder. However, if
I start the program from the icon, it loads the standard default settings
which are not necessarily what I need for each specific project. 

I think what I was really asking was whether there was a setting that would
force VFP to open new projects in a new development environment. Kind of
like right clicking on a link and choosing to open the page in a new tab or
a new window.

Sure. I do it all the time. It should just work unless you have your
environment setup with some dependencies on exclusive access.

Subject: Running Multiple Instances of VFP 9

Does anyone know if there is a way to run multiple instances of the VFP
development environment on the same computer. I run into this need from time
to time, but I've not taken a lot of time to research it. 

I know I can run multiple instances of a compiled VFP program, but every
time I try to open multiple VFP projects, it simply brings the existing dev
window forward and opens each project within the same development
environment.

Short of running virtual machines, is this even possible?
