>I have a config.fpw included with the exe as a text file in the project/other section. In the exe I have a function that needs to read the content of another disk file, in a different folder. The disk file happens to be named config.fpw as well, yet VFP functions (FILE(), FREAD(), etc) keep reading the content of the config.fpw file from the exe, even though I pass the file name with the complete path.
>There must be a way to force VFP to read the file from disk, right? TIA
Check the message #
1404679 and the whole thread. I guess the solution may be to temporarily remove or rename that file from exe, read the actual file, then rename back - just an idea from the top of my head / not tested.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
