Hi Joel

>Where does VFP look for the Config file first?

My understanding has always been that in the absence of a specific configuration file (i.e. the -c switch in command line parameters), it searches the following locations for a file named 'config.fpw' in this order:

· The current working directory

· The directory from which Visual FoxPro is being started

· All directories in the DOS path

Note that if you are using the '-c' switch to specify a file named other than the default, or in a specific location, you must include the fully qualified path and file name.
