We use small ascii-text file called "whatever.ini" and in startup of application it looks in its default directory for this file. Then it opens this file with fopen and reads line after line with fgets. Every line is assigned to a array and then we set what we need. It ends reading when it encounters "*".For example I use this to set the default path, the path to data, some global variables, etc. Here's some code... . wait wind 'One moment please, setting an environment...' nowait . myerror = .f. nextline = .t. handler = fopen('konvert.ini') if handler >= 0 i=0 do while nextline = .t. line = fgets ( handler ) if line <> '*' i = i + 1 dimen r [i] r[i] = line else nextline = .f. endif enddo AktDisk = r[1] def_cesta = AktDisk + r[2] ProgPath = AktDisk + r[3] DataPath = AktDisk + r[4] PamFile = r[5] OutPath = ProgPath + r[6] set defa to &ProgPath set path to &DataPath else wait wind ' Program "name of program" : Error !!!' + chr(13) + 'Can't set up environment...' = fclose ( handler ) myerror = .t. return to *mainprogram endif = fclose ( handler ) . . after return mainprogram checks if myerror is .t. or .f. and goes on.... . hth Happy New Year!!!!!
