Sergey, you usually are pretty clear about your answers, but this time I think you have mis-understood my question. Your answers make no sense in relation to my original question.


>You cannot do that from within VFP. You've to create 2 separate shortcuts.
>
>>How do I use 2 different when this is the VFP application I am running? I do not have 2 installs of VFP 8 so 2 config.fpw files cannot live in the same directory "c:\program files\MS Visual Foxpro 8". If you look at the set8Envir code I included I test for VFP already being open, then set the resource to a different directory. I really don't understand what you are saying. Maybe you could show some code?

>>>You have to create 2 separate config.fpw files which in turn point to different foxuser.dbf. After that you can use '-C' command-line switch in each shortcut to point to particular config.fpw.

>>>>I did that first. Both locations have the foxuser.dbf and a _command.prg file. I understand that _command file is what vfp wrwites to when it closes?? I open vfp twice, the first is VFP-DEV. The second is VFP-TEST. I want them to use different resource files but they seem to be defaulting to the same one. I use this code in the file that starts from config.fpw. abvout have down the below code you will see the code for using the different resource files.

>>>>>1. It sounds like you lost the Resoturce file - foxuser.dbf. Go to Tools -> Options -> File Locations -> Resource File and make sure that it's enabled and points to a valid foxuser.dbf. Don't forget to save settings by pressing 'Set As default'.
>>>>>If it doesn't help, delete foxuser.dbf.

>>>>>>Lately when I start VFP, my last project is not loaded and the command window does not have the commands last typed. I have a set8envir prg that runs from config fpw. If the vfp8 window doesn't exist I set resource file to the root of vfp8 otherwise I set it to a subfolder. It was working fine until the other day and I haven't a clue what I changed. I cannot get it back.
