>>>>>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.

Keep config.fpw external. Resource file first of all keep window, toolbar positions etc. If you ever using Fox diary it also needs resource file. Generally you keep all of them in your app and don't need it (in old times it was needed more for pdsetup, preferences etc). I don't use it anymore.
