hi wayne,

if the users are using the vfp runtimes and clicking a link on their desktop perhaps the link isnt starting in the apps start directory, therefore not seeing the config.fpw?

This has occurred in the same app compiled in VFP6 and VFP8. In some instances the error box says "File c:\documen~1\locals~1\temp\???????/.tmp is read only" where the ????????? is a randomly generated file name (like when a cursor is created). In other cases the path for the file name is our application start directory.
