For some reason when I came into work Monday, my VFP 6.0 settings were different. My last project was not opened on startup (even though it's checked). This option is greyed out too, i don't remember if it's always been like that. Also, my command window is in the default size/position as if it were my first time start VFP 6.0. In addition to those, my Debug Window, I always had just the Trace Window and Watch Window, now I get all the windows, like locals and such. And it's as though I first started VFP 6.0 for first time. Can someone help me track down why this is occurring? thanks.

You may have had a crash and/or your foxuser.dbf got corrupted.
Did you change something in your Config.fpw file?
Has the windows path been changed?
Has someone been on your computer? Hmmm...

I was just looking at my foxuser.dbf (never looked at it before...it seems that some updates were made to it on 10/04/2002. Which is the last time everything was right.

Unfortunately, I don't know if these updates are supposed to be made everyday, or how this dbf even works.

Hi, I got it working....without really knowing how.
I was looking at the thread about the config.fpw and it's contents
and did some trial and error. Basically I added the two resource lines to the end of my fpw, and now it works for some reason.
_startup="d:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vfp98\vfpstart.prg"
CODEPAGE=437
RESOURCE="d:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vfp98\foxuser.dbf"
RESOURCE=ON
