>>I recently asked how I may increase the number of variables available in VFP 5.0. The answer I got was "The setting is MVCOUNT in CONFIG.FPW. In VFP the default is 1024 (256 in FPW26) that you can increase up to 65,000."

CONFIG.FPW (or CONFIG.FP) is the file that specifies the configuration of (Visual)FoxPro at startup. The correct filename can be determined by:
? SYS(2019)
or to modify it:
MODIFY FILE SYS(2019)
You can specify a particular file to use by putting:
-C{filename}
on the command line when calling either VFP or a compiled application, or you can specify an environment variable:
SET FOXPROWCFG={filename}
or
SET FOXPROCFG={filename} (for FoxPro/DOS)
to ensure that the correct comfiguration file is always loaded.
