In other words, it should return the path/name of the CONFIG.FPW (equivalent) actually used, REGARDLESS of how/where it was specified and the empty string if none is used. I don't know why "ALLOWEXTERNAL" would even be a factor.
That's what I'd vote for.

>>Not sure if this is a fix in VFP8 or not, but this behavior has changed and it took me a little while to figure it out, so I'll share it... In VFP7 if you include your config.fpw in the project, which ends up being embedded in the .exe, the sys(2019) would return the name of the config file used. Now in VFP8 it returns an Empty string, eventhough it "is" using the config.fpw embedded in the .exe. So now if you want to test if a config.fpw file was used and you included it in your project, you have to do something else, like maybe set something in the config.fpw and test for that instead of using sys(2019).
