Brenda,

I've never tried setting a startup file that way. I use a config.fpw file instead. Create a text file in the folder with the VFP executable. In that file, put something like this:

Command = DO DockWindows IN C:\Dev\aSetup.prg

OR

Command = DO C:\Dev\aSetup.prg

Of course, you'd change the path from C:\Dev\ to where ever you put your program. If you want to do other startup chores, you can put them in the aSetup.prg along with a call to the function and use the second implementation above. If that's the only thing you want to do, you can use either method above as long as you have a call to the function in the prg itself. If you don't put a call in the prg, then you'll nedd to use the first option.

HTH,
Chad
