Configuration Files

In Visual FoxPro, only CONFIG.FPW files bound inside of either EXE and DLL servers will be used during run-time initialization. The Configuration file stores critical settings that are set at the time Visual FoxPro starts up (both product and run time). Prior to Visual FoxPro 6.0, the CONFIG.FPW file could exist as a separate file or bound into the application (.app, .exe or .dll). If a CONFIG.FPW file is found bound into an application, then it is used, otherwise Visual FoxPro searches along normal paths for a separate CONFIG.FPW file.

You will still get full functionality with normal distributed .app and .exe applications.

Any other comments?

Thanks!
Malcolm
