>>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?

No, by default, they go to the starting direcotry for the executable. Read the documentation for Installing and Configuring VFP - it spells this out in detail.
