Hi Armin !
I had similar problem (foxuser.fpt was deleted)
In my case I accidentally opened my quite big VFP7 project with VFP8 Beta (mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa) Next, I compiled the project with VFP7 SP1. After starting resulting program foxuser.fpt was deleted. I made some investigation and discovered that this happens on a line with "set resource off" command. Problem in VFP7 disappeared when I recover my project file from backup. In VFP8 Beta the problem with the project still exist.
(Now I have VFP8 Beta on separate machine)

>I've got a (not really small) project that I compile into an MT COM DLL. Reproducible, after the compilation of the project I close VFP and open it up again and I'm told that foxuser.fpt is invalid or missing (it's deleted). I sometimes had this in VFP7 as well. But not reproducible, so I never knew where exactly the problems with the resource file were coming from.

>Update 2: The files are deleted when VFP quits. The same foxuser is accessible after the compile from another instance of VFP. What I tried so far: CleanUp project, packing all vcx, deleting all fxps, creating the EXE encrypted/not encrypted, deleting the EXE file (respectively the DLL, TLB, VBR). Foxuser is always affected, focode occasionally and foxtask occasionally as well.

In VFP7, only the foxuser seems to be affected. Maybe there's something wrong with one or more of my project files!? Any help apreciated.
