If RESOURCE is OFF in the config.fpw VFP will NOT use, find or create a foxuser file anywhere. Only if you SET RESOURCE ON somewhere in the program will this happen. If you are finding that VFP is using a resource file when you've set RESOURCE = OFF in config.fpw, then I suggest you find out where in your program it's being set back on.
