>>I thought it might be something like that so I did completely close VFP twice and even ran myapp.exe from out side VFP (with messageboxes to show the contents) and still the old config.fpw. BTW - I did the updates to config.fpw in notepad.

>Are you making changes to a config.fpw that is outside of your project? I found from personal experience that if I had config.fpw included in the project/build, that an external config.fpw would be ignored regardless of it sitting in the same directory as the EXE.

Excellent thought. I execute that the .prg that reads the config.fpw from several different apps. The app I was testing did have the config.fpw included into the project (which I am glad I found because my entire design was to be able to change the config.fpw to change the behavior of the proc). But still i rebuilt the project and exited VFP twice, so still not sure why the long delay in seeing the updates.
