>>>>We have the runtime for 3 installed on all of the machines here (including my development pc). I have written an app in 5 and have created a generic setup with the wizzard. After running the setup on a machine, I run my app, which is on the network. When it runs, I get a Fox Error Asking if I want to Convert 3.0 Resource File to 5.0 Format. It doesn't matter whether I say Yes or No, either way, I get another Fox Error saying "File 'myapp.exe' does not exist" Then it quits. In my config.fpw I have a line Resource = C:\Windows\Temp\FoxUser5.Dbf So, I thought, it wouldn't conflict with the 3.0 resource files. What does all of this mean and how do I fix it?

>Your config.fpw is the one that's used and "resource=off" fail ? Strange worked all the time for me. Other ideas, in a manner based on the fact that you can disable or change resource file via config.fpw or command line.
>You could keep more than one config.fpw - config3.fpw and config5.fpw. In commandline (shortcut typically) "myapp.exe -Cconfig5.fpw" and you must be sure, you're really indicating different resource files. If you don't need them just "resource=off" is the best.

I'm including the config.fpw in the executable. I've been wondering when I should actually use a resource file? What benefits are gained by using/not using a resource file?

TIA
