I keep as few lines as possible in config.fpw, everything else is in my loader program. My loader program reads and sets all my preferred settings from a table, checks for updates and then start my application or the IDE. In config.fpw, I only have lines for resource, overlay, editwork, sortwork, progwork and tmpfiles. I am sure that some of these lines are redundant in VFP, but I have used the same config.fpw files for the last 10-15 years, so why change them?

In a config.fpw file to include in an application, you also must include screen=off.
