>It doesn't necessarily have to be an FXP file. You can use a simple text file - or any binary file that stores some sort of coded information - which you read with FileToStr(). The file might be hidden within the Windows folder, or in your application directory.
I don't want to store anything in the Windows folder, for good housekeeping. So I would prefer to store this file in the application directory. So, obviously, text file won't do. And I need to create this file "on-the-fly" from the application, as the information changes over time. So, creating a .PRG (with a class inside) on-the-fly, then compiling to a .FXP would work. Of course, I delete .PRG file once I compile it.
I thought I would add another "level" of "protection" by renaming the file. I guess I see that I can't do that (rename it), so I will have to live with .FXP type file.
Thank you.
