Thank you Hank - that worked.

But I then managed to break it <g>

Further investigation now shows that once I open the project in VFP9 I can carry on opening it in 9 without being asked to login. But if I ever open the same project in VFP7, it means that next time I open it in 9 I will be asked to login again.

But I am never asked to login when I open it in 7 regardless. Presumably 7 is blowing away something that 9 needs to automate the login?

Why do I keep swopping - well the production release is still in 7 but I am getting ready to move to 9 with the next one and am trying to find all gotcha's before I commit myself - so far so good!

This was in VFP8, fwiw. But rejoining will work for sure.

This is a pain and I want to suppress this so it behaves just like it does in VFP7.
