Hi Paul, 1. Occurred to me, and I think that *could* have something to do with Windows Folder Virtualization
2. When Windows can't write to your CFG dirs, then automatically select the TEMP In my experience with this "strange" errors, I've fixed them creating a subdirectory by user behind a public one --well ahead of Windows own dirs-- with all the permissions necessary (ie: "C:\APPNAME\DATA\USERX") I have 2 solutions for this up to now, and in both of them Windows can't interfere in any way, and you just want to configure de AV software to ignore it: 1) When the PC is not shared between users: This is the most simple case, and all you need is to create a DATA directory (ie: "C:\APPNAME\DATA") and a CONFIG.FPW with this directory for all config items 2) When the PC (Server) is shared among users: This is a little tricky, but with you can asure that user TMP files are well separated, and requires a "launcher" file (can be a VFP or a VBS script one) that before starts the VFP APP/EXE, creates a "personal" CFG file for each user (ie: "C:\APPNAME\DATA\USERX\config.fpw") with all the paths ponting to this dir, the launches the VFP APP/EXE with the *-C*C:\APPNAME\DATA\USERX\config.fpw option You even can use an internal CONFIG.FPW with starting exactly with this lines to allow using the external CFG: * internal config.fpw ALLOWEXTERNAL=ON RESOURCE=OFF Hope it helps. 2018-04-09 18:46 GMT+02:00 Paul H.
