If you want other VFP session to have it's own configuration, launch VFP9EXE with -C command-line switch pointig to separate config.fpw, which in turn point to seoparate foxuser.dbf.
I don't understend though what VFP IDE has to do with user expirienxe. WOuldn't you create EXE for distribution to users?
