George,
VFP uses foxuser to store all kinds of stuff and it's likely to want to store that info at times you might not exect. If the dbf is in the project it's readonly and VFP will joke. Keeping a default version of foxuser.dbf, under a different name, in the exe and copying it out when needed should work fine.
>Yep, you would if you wanted to allow the user to save the position of the toolbar. You could, however, copy it out, as a temporary. That way, if they every closed it (the toolbar), you could simply re-copy the file out, to restore it. Better?
