How to Use a Custom Configuration File
ID: Q152343
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b
SUMMARY
This article describes how to use a custom configuration file. Visual
FoxPro determines valid configuration file usage by both filename, format,
and type. This allows multiple custom configuration files to exist in one
location while having a system default.
MORE INFORMATION
In order to ensure that Visual FoxPro uses a custom configuration file, the
following items must be considered:
- The custom configuration file must have a type of "FFPM" and a creator
of "FOXX." These types can be set by using the FoxTools call
FxSetType() or the sample form :sample:tools:setconfig:setconfig.scx.
- The default configuration file, CONFIG.FPM, must not exist in either the
Visual FoxPro or the System Folder. If it does, it will always be used.
- The format of the configuration file must be text and it must adhere
syntactically to those conventions and limitations outlined for the
default configuration file.
- Visual FoxPro must be launched through the custom configuration file
either by dropping the custom configuration file onto Visual FoxPro or
opening the custom configuration file from the Finder.
