>The resource file (Foxuser.dbf) is a Visual FoxPro table that contains information on system and user-defined resources such as keyboard macros, preferences, system window locations and sizes, diary entries, and so on.
The message you refer to occurs when you change VFP / FPW versions running in the same directory ( path ) and access a FOXUSER.DBF that is incompatible with the current version. You can "safely" erase FOXUSER.DBF and its FPT file, losing only your development positions in editting files, screen positions, and other development oriented items. Its capacity is the same as any other DBF in VFP. Note: you may totally bypass the use of this file by including 'RESOURCE=OFF' in your CONFIG.FPW file. ( Hope my use of all caps for names that must be typed exactly as shown doesn't look like shouting -- it is simply to indicate exactness. Remember, you can specify the location of your configuration file by including '-Cxxxxxxxxx' on the command line which starts VPF or which starts your application. You may also include the confguration file inside a main project on the 'OTHER' tab, 'TEXT FILES' tree in the project manager.
