Summary
Let's say you need to provide your users the Report Preview or Report Designer toolbars with your application. You need to provide your users with FOXUSER.dbf and .fpt. The only records you need to include in FoxUser are those whose ID = "TTOOLBAR". Assuming you have a folder where you place all the files you need for the Setup wizard [I call mine Prod for production which is a sub-folder of my application folder]: Some sample code to do this: use foxuser again copy to prod\foxuser for ID = "TTOOLBAR" use prod\foxuser excl && so you can pack it later browse Look in the NAME memo field to see what toolbar each record is. Delete the toobar records you do not need [e.g., form designer, etc.]. On all the other records, make the ReadOnly field True. Exit from the table and PACK it. Before you do all of this, modify or preview a report to make sure the toolbars are visible. Then follow the above process to create the initial Foxuser files.
