>Usually when I see this it means that I've started a second instance of VFP. Only the first session gets to use the resource file if both refer to the same one. Note that the About dialog will show the expected foxuser.dbf, same as sys(2005), but if you look at set('resource') it will be OFF in the second instance.

I run always two instances and this is usually ok. Like I said, it'll only do that on a random basis. I haven't succeeded to find a simulated pattern so far. It's been like that since last September.
