Hi Naomi, Thanks for the answer.
1) I think it is in the right place. I have a main directory in the root of the disc called C:\FOODAPP I have created this specifically for this application as i find it a pain to navigate around in the VisualStudio/vpf directory structure. The application builder seems to create a series of subdirectories called PROGS, REPORTS, LIBS, etc. In the root directory C:\FOODAPP is a file called config.fpw which was created by the app builder and this is the one i am editing. I then build.. an application called FOODAPP which creates a file in the directory which i can run inside Foxpro or I can build an executable which replaces the app with an exe and i can run that.
I think i might have a path problem, as I am forever having to use 'set default to' and 'set path to' to get everything in the right place. But anyway, this is where the config is, but i don't know of the builder is including it when it is generating the .app or the .exe I know when i used to use fpw 2.6 that you had to add a call to the config on the desktop shortcut - and they still refer to that on the MSDN files but i can't see where you might do that with the application being built for you.
2) The user thing - i was just wondering if there was a data base created which stored the user names and passwords and security levels or something - or is just so that you can code for particular users. When i set up my user name it said something about being a 'basic user' whihc imples there are different security levels which can have different access rights and can be coded into the app.
Thanks again.
