Hi Karen, Based on his response to my original post, Razzak seems to have a different view. My understanding is that R:Base needs a CFG file and if it doesn't find one, it creates one.

If not, I highly recommend that you stop using them. I do not have a single client where I even know if there are any cfg files out there, and it's one of the things I LOVE most about the new products over the 6.5 and previous versions. CFG files? Who cares!!! Every setting that I need is made in the RBase startup program. Question for User list: Unless you customize the CFG files with different settings for different people, is there any reason to have/use them anymore? I'd really like to know if I'm "missing" something important by not using them anymore...

On these machines, when the runtime version starts it creates temp files and a RBG91_32.CFG file in the database folder. RBG91_32.CFG appears to be a shorter version of RBENGINE91_32.CFG. For now, I have added code to delete these files, but I would prefer to understand what's happening and prevent the files from being created.
