Randy,

You are indeed having both apps trying to use the exact same foxuser.dbf. The two memo field formats are incompatible n(10) vs i(4). DOS doesn't understand the i(4) field so it calls it invalid. VFP sees the n(10) and asks to switch it to the newer smaller field size.

If you are not using it to store browser window preferences you might just do away with it all together.

You can also use a command line switch to let VFP use one with it's own name.

>Hi. Using VFP6 & Fox Dos 2.6 on the same pc (stand alone)
> When I go into Fox Dos: I get 'Invalid FoxUser file. Overwrite?'
> When I go into VFP: I get 'Convert FoxUser 3.0 file to 6.0?'

> In both cases, pressing 'Yes' allows me to continue.

> I thought that it was because both programs were sharing the same FoxUser. However, reviewing the 'About' in Fox 2.6 reveals a location in c:\fpd26; whereas VFP 'File Location' reveals a location in its home directory.
