>I'm trying to avoid creating a special local directory on everyone's machine to house varying CONFIG.FPW files. I want the user to be able to run the .EXE from the network where I will mantain ONE CONFIG.FPW file. Then it would be nice if my app could determine a local directory to use (IE: \WINDOWS\TEMP, etc). The only problem is: Can the CONFIG.FPW variables, EDITWORK, PROGWORK, SORTWORK, TMPFILES be set dynamically during runtime?

You can't set the ...WORK directories after FoxPro has started up. But, by default, these settings should default to the local Windows temporary directory anyway.
