Chuck,

It's to late to change foxuser.dbf after VFP started to affect command window and projects because VFP already read (or rather couldn't read) those settings. You can create 2 different shorcuts and point them to different config files with -C command-line swith which in turn point to different foxuser.dbf files.

>I work with 2 session of VFP6. 1 for developing abd another for testing. At startup I run my own setEnvir() prg to use a diff foxuser table in another directory if a VFP session is already in use. My problem is that the 2nd session does not retain commmand window size or the last projects opened. Any Ideas on how to fix that?
