Thanks for the information.

I have written a VFP tool that can be called from within the VFP IDE. It will analysis the source code of other projects. I cannot ensure that this setting is included in the Config.fpw. Can I include the Config.fpw in the project and have not interfere with the current operating IDE environments.

Also, by default the SET DEVELOPMENT setting is ON.

As I understand, the Local Virtual Store is provided as a Windows security means to prevent various viruses and malware from invading local data.

The true problem is that VFP was designed before Vista (when the Local Virtual Store was implemented), and the FXP was expected to be where the PRG resides. So, altering the system setting will not only effect VFP applications, but also all applications installed. This will not go over well with the system administrators.

This issue is also affecting the Debugger. If the PRG is altered, the FXP in the Virtual Store may not be updated, the Debugger will look for the FXP in same folder as the PRG. If there is FXP in the PRG folder, but the one in the Virtual Store may be newer, the debugger will not see it and display that the source is out of date.

Sorry, just thinking out loud.
