Hello Sergey,

There would be little point to set the TABLEPROMPT in the config if it wasn't scoped to the entire project, thus I assumed by them mentioning setting this in the config it was implied it was scoped accordingly.

I set the TABLEPROMPT OFF in the config file and seems to work properly in all but one place. So I set a break point a couple lines before the problem command, and to my surprise SET('TABLEPROMPT') was set to 'ON'.

I havn't had time to run it down, I fixed the problem by just setting it off just before the INSERT INTO. I will put the SET('TABLEPROMPT') in the debugger and set a break on change when I get a chance to find where it's changing.

Bob

It does not state the scope of this command in the help but it seems to be scoped to the entire project (which seems to be validated by the notation you can set it in the Config.FPW file).
