[pepmarti]

I you want to make fast your FPW 2.6 program in WNT and W2000 put this line in your config.fpw

ROSOURCE={local directory that are in all terminals}
example:
RESOURCE=c:
This line make that your FOXUSER.* are in you local disk. And make your aplication very fast.

Bet if you wrote a small loader program and placed it on every computer to copy the application to the users local hard drive and then started that FoxExe from the local hard drive copy, you would see a much bigger speed increase then the tip you mentioned.

Also if you then created a desktop Icon or windows menu task bar item to point to the local loader program and set the start in properties to the local directory where the loader program was, you would not need that tip you mentioned because foxpro would be running from the local hard drive and it would create the foxuser file there and not on the network.

Win Shortcut lines
application "C:\FPW\FPW26.EXE" -t "c:\temp\loader"
start in "C:\temp\"

loader program
pcFromDir = "F:\MainDir\"
pcLclDir = "C:\temp\"
pcFoxExe = "FoxExe"
on error **
md (pcLclDir)
on error
set default to (pcLclDir)
on error
set talk off
set safety off
copy file (pcFromDir + FoxExe) to (pcLclDir + FoxExe)
do (pcLclDir + FoxExe)

P.S. You can also get creative and pass the loader program parameters.
