Resource Files on Windows 2003 Server 2

[itflash]

Hi all

My VFP8 application was running in a terminal server environment fine (Windows 2000).

My client upgraded to Windows 2003 and my application still works fine.

However....non-administrator users get "The Resource File is not Valid" when they run the application.

In my startup program - I set resource off.

Any ideas?
Is it the locale?

Thanks

Hi Itflash,

SET RESOURCES OFF gets the effect when the application starts and gets thru' that statement. However, the first thing when application starts is to create a FoxUser.DBF and then passes theu that line of code. SO this is the story of Chiken or the Egg which came first.

If you keep a default FoxUser.DBF in the place of application executable, probably this will be solved. The application will start with that FoxUser.dbf and then, it will get turned off with the SET RESOURCES OFF statement.

Thanks for the reply.

I removed the foxuser.dbf etc and they get recreated.

I checked the standard user permissions and they only have read and execute.

I think in one of my forms (private datasession) I do not have resource off (for one reason or another).

Does this shed any further light?

Thanks

HI

That is exactly the reason, you get the error,

You should give Read/Write permission to the FoxUser.dbf and FoxUser.FPT files. Dont remove them.

Put RESOURCE=OFF in the CONFIG.FPW and they won't be created at all.
