For most of the users, they have no problem launching the system except one user. This user encountered error message "Error reading file : foxuser.fpt" when launching the system. It happened quite frequently on this user. . His PC is running on Win XP Pro.Please advise how to overcome the problem. The inventory system is developed under VFP 8.0.Tks 06-29-2009 3:34 AM In reply to Error reading file : Foxuser.fpt The resource file was "remembering" the way you wanted those previews. Now with the resource inactive, it has no way to "remember" what you wanted and comes in a default view that is not very nice.In my VFP reports, I make sure there is one extra line in each report to tell the preview to go full screen. To that end, enter a report (MODIFY REPORT myreport) and right-mouse click on an empty design surface of the report to get the popup menu where you can choose DataEnvironment. [Don't worry if you don't use the DataEnvironment for other things.] Then you will see a window labelled DataEnvironment. Right-mouse click on an empty surface there to get another popup menu and choose Properties. In the Properties Window, in either the Init or the BeforeOpenTables event, add the following line of code:ZOOM WINDOW "Report Designer" MAXExit everything and make sure you save the report and also assure yourself you haven't embedded any unwanted printer environment stuff into that report. Then re-run that report. You will see the Report preview get maximized without the use of the Fox resource file and without the use of some odd keyboard stuff to emulate keystrokes to go full screen.

FoxUser Resource File Structure Visual Studio .NET 2003 The FoxPro resource file FoxUser.dbf holds a variety of resource information (for example, window positions, color sets, Browse window configurations, label definitions, and so on.). FoxUser.dbf is a standard FoxPro table with an associated memo file (.FPT). If the index file does not exist, it is created when the FoxUser.dbf file is opened. Unlike in earlier versions of Visual FoxPro, the FoxUser.dbf resource file is opened SHARED While RESOURCE is SET ON, FoxPro handles all resource management. You can modify the data contained in this file in two ways: Special window configurations or other window preferences, once established and saved in the resource file, can be protected from subsequent interactive changes by modifying the READONLY field for the specific resource (see the example in the Predefining Browse Window Configuration section).

One thing that annoys them is that they get this FOXUSER.dbf/fpt error everytime they logged in. Just curious what's causing the system to pop this out? Anyone who can shed some light on how to turn this off would be highly appreciated.

the Toolbar shows up or not. You can do the steps he outlines, then copy the FOXUSER files to REPOUSER.DBF/FPT. Then SET RESOURCE TO REPOUSER before modifying the report, then Set Resource back to FOXUSER when done. Rick Shaddock Enable report toolbars at run-time Visual FoxPro lets you open the report designer in your application. But can you be sure the correct toolbars show up? VFP developers sometimes like to give their users access to the report designer at run-time. For the most part, this is no more difficult than executing a MODIFY REPORT command from within an executable. Too often, though, the report designer will appear correctly, but the related toolbars will be nowhere to be seen. In general, to control the visibility of toolbars at run-time, you use SHOW WINDOW and HIDE WINDOW. For example: HIDE WINDOW "Standard" to hide the standard toolbar, and SHOW WINDOW "Standard" to make it visible again. Unfortunately, these commands only work if the toolbar has already been opened during the current session. If it hasn't, VFP generates error 1714 (Window not defined). As you've got no way of programmatically opening the toolbars in the first place, these commands won't solve the problem. Nor can you give the user access to the standard Toolbars dialogue from within an executable. It's true that you can create a menu with the Toolbars prompt on it, but this will be greyed out when you run the program. The solution turns out to be quite simple. To understand it, keep in mind that the current toolbar status - that is, the visibility and location of the toolbars, and whether they are docked or floating - is stored in the VFP resource file. The resource file is in fact two files. By default, they are named FOXUSER.DBF and FOXUSER.FPT and can be found in the directory from which you launched the application. With that in mind, here are the steps needed to ensure that the report designer toolbars are always visible at run-time: Launch Visual FoxPro. Close any toolbars that you don't want the user to see at run-time (such as the standar
