>>I have a little VFP compiled exe that I wrote for some of my coworkers. Since all of these coworkers already have other VFP applications installed with the appropriate runtime, dll's, etc. I didn't bother to write an install routine for this one. I just copy it into a new Program Files folder and we are good to go. This has always worked fine. However today I gave it to a new person and when it starts it gives the message that the resource file is no good should I create a new one? Answer yes and it runs fine. However subsequent runs produce the message over again. This is a win7 box but I have it on other win7 boxes without a problem. Any ideas what's up?

I've had success making the foxuser.dbf and foxuser.fpt files read-only.
