Hi Alan

No that hasn't helped. I have even tried deleteing the foxuser files and starting again but as soon as I add & dock the "Layout" or "Form Designer" toolbars the problem returns.

There must be some other setting somewhere. Deleteing the foxuser files does not change most of my font settings.

I have noticed that it always wants to add the toolbar at position 1.

It's bloody annoying.

Regards
Geoff Scott
