>>>I can't get VFP to accept the -C prompt for any config file. It will read the CONFIG.FPW in the startup directory, but won't accept any other file name or path. I'd like to have different config files for development and run-time, but can't get it setup.

Craig, I didn't include the CONFIG.FPW in the project (even went back and double checked). I even went to a brand new directory, where the only file was the PRG I used for my test EXE (see VFP5 EXE Problem thread) and wrote a new CONFIG file with a different extension. VFP simply said 'Cannot find Config file' and loaded its default values.

Edward, I'm beginning to think that whether a bug is a feature (and vice versa) is a matter of what your program is doing at any given moment!

Thanks,
Barbara
