For a user using my tool:

If possible, I'd like to avoid having my tool make any Set Path, Set Procedure, or Set Classlib calls when a user runs the .app in their VFP IDE. I want to make as few changes to their environment as possble.

Since a compiled .app has those resources within itself, I hoped that I could get by without making these Set calls in order to access the ClassLibs or Procedures.


But, when I am developing the tool in my IDE:

When I am actualy working on the tool to develope it, I do not run the .app file, but rather I run the boot.prg directly, so I need these Set calls to be made so that it will launch and run properly.


So that's whay I want a test... Am *I* running it in development mode, make the Set call. If a *user* is running the *app*, do not make the Set calls.


Again, my simple goal is to not piddle with their environment with Set calls, if it can be avoided.


Even after I make the test, I still have to see how lean I go with the Set statements and still have the app run property.

Therefore, I do not want to call these Set Path and Set Clisslib statements if running from an .app or .exe file.

>>Isn't it correct that if the PRGS and VCX that live at these locations are compiled into the .app file, then these statements would not be needed when launching the .app file directly, but they would be needed if I am manually running the boot.prg file from within the IDE (launching boot.prg from the Command Window or running it frmo the Project Manager)
