>>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."

>>This sounds like a great answer, but... where is 'config.fpw'??? I cannot find a file of this name anywhere on my entire system.

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.
