>Just recently I've created an small application, in VFP 5.0a, that queries FoxPro for DOS 2.5 tables and creates new tables that I use in another application at a remote site. I've place the EXE for the new app. in the directory of the old FoxPro app., where the tables, etc. are stored. I've run into a problem with the Foxuser file. Because these are two different versions of FoxPro/VFP, the entries in the Foxuser.dbf are different and I believe this is causing a problem with the old FoxPro app..

to start w/ specific resource file, request it in your config file. i think -c is the 'tag' for resource file name and location.
