Hi Frank

I did find the registry setting where %1 picks up the PJX path and name.  I tried adding -cConfig.FPW to the registry entry but it didn't work.  BTW Config.FPW is present in the VFP9.EXE folder and in the PJX folder (just to be sure ...)

Yes, sort of. CD (without the ?) takes an optional argument (the folder to change to) but without the argument works just like CURDIR()

OK, I think the file association of PJX with VFP9.exe has various parameters you can set, but I don't know if that will do what you want. You can find these settings somewhere in the registry if you want to dig into it.

My setup is that I have a startup program configured (Tools | options | File Locations) and when I start VFP from either a shortcut or double clicking on a file like PJX, that program gets called where I display a folder selection dialogue and once I select a folder I then set default to that folder (all programmatically).

btw, what is "CD in the command window"? Do you mean "?CURDIR()" ?

Frank.

Hi Frank

Thanks for your reply.  I have tried as you suggest (Config.FPW and Startup.PRG in the VFP9.EXE folder) but that still does not work.  Double-clicking on the PKX opens the project and CD in the command window shows the current folder as the project's folder)

Paul,

I think the issue you are seeing is that when you double click on the PJX, the VFP9.exe runs, but it runs with the default/start in folder being the folder where vfp9.exe sits. If you set up your config in that folder then you should get what you want, once you can make it generic enough.

Frank.

Thanks Jan

You say that double-clicking on a PJX works as usually but what are the commands in your Start.PRG and do they get executed (in addition to the project being opened).

My config.fpw and start.prg for "command=do start" are placed in VFP folder. Doubleclicking any PJX works for me as usualy.

Hi all

I have a folder containing a PJX, Config.FPW, Startup.PRG, StartThor.PRGand StartHackCX.PRG

Config.FPW contains "Command=Do Startup.PRG"
Startup.PRG contains:
   Do StartThor.PRG
   Do StartHackCX.PRG

The problem is that none of these commands executes when double-clicking on the PJX in Windows Explorer (or other file manager), even though Sys(2019) points to the Config.FPW in the folder in question.

Any ideas or is this just the way it works?
