>I'm getting old I know, so I don't remember things as well as I used to, but didn't VFP used to automatically create the resource files foxuser.dbf and foxuser.fpt if they didn't exist? I'm sure I used to inadvertantly get them created on my desktop and then have to delete them. But now they don't seem to get created and I get an error when I "SET RESOURCE ON" if they don't exist. Am I missing something or has the fox behavior changed? Does it all have to be done manually now?

Try to set in config.fpw

RESOURCE=ON
