While it may have been something you could get away with in the past, I don't think it's ever been a reccommended process. In the beta, I'm pretty sure that was something that was explicitly stated, don't use a FOXUSER from a previous version.


>No, I just used the FoxUser I had from VFP 7. I create a new FoxUser for each project because it is very annoying to have edit and browse windows appear in the wrong place when I am working on AppA because I have a component that uses the same name in AppB. It's just something I've been doing since FP 2.6.

>I never had serious problems upgrading FoxUser from 3 to 5 to 6 to 7 to 8, so I just didn't think about it with 9. I don't suppose it is a critical issue, but thought I would post something in case somebody else opens an edit window and finds it full of sparse chicken scratches like I did.
