Thank you very much, Tracy.
On your 3rd point (special foxuser.dbf named after the login name), how do you do it?

>You can use one on the local drive (resource = c:\myapptempfolder\foxuser.dbf in the config.fpw)
>You can use a special foxuser.dbf named after the login name of the user or workstation name or whatever as well and that can be located on the network or on the local drive.

>>I am looking for suggestions to deal with foxuser.dbf problems. Every once in a while customers get error something to the extend of program not being able to read foxuser.dbf. It usually crashes the system. The foxuser.dbf typically (in how I install the application) reside on the shared drive on the server.

>>My questions are:
>>
>>1. Can I disable my application to use FoxUser.dbf at all? Is it a good idea (if possible)?
>>2. Can I place the FoxUser.dbf on the local drive? Is it a good approach?
>>3. What else can I do?

>>Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
