Thanks. But how do I set the defaults for all my datasessions. i.e. ANSI=OFF seems to be the default, but can I somewhere set ANSI=ON and have all new datasessions that are created have that setting as their default?

>Many SET commands scope to the current data session, i.e. if you use private DS, then you have to reset them back from defaults when you start the form. You can look at 'SET DATASESSION' topic in Help to get list of SETtings.
