Thanks Dragan

Sometimes I just need a little push. I've been doing vfp for years,and somehow never got involved with FoxUser.dbf and Set Resource. It does exactly what I was looking for.

Each of the user machines already has tables with information on a number of local things in their startup folder, like the user's own printer list or encrypted machine particulars for startup verification, so dropping a copy of FoxUser.dbf there was no problem at all.
