>I deleted the foxuser.dbf and fpt in three separate places including where I was using from. This did not fix the problem. It did however raise the question in my mind of how I specify which foxuser file to use, and currently my app runs from the file server, where multiple people use the same foxuser file. Is this an improper thing to be doing?

PMFJI, Robin, but the resource file (FOXUSER.DBF) should be located locally and the locate should be specified in CONFIG.FPW.

I haven't had this problem in VFP, because of taking steps to assure that there's a proper configuration file associated with each app, but back in FPW, multiple users trying to access the same resource file would generate an error.
