>I'm a little confused about where things are going and why .. but here's the issue I noticed. In Win XP, I had VFP 7 and 9 on the same machine. When I went into each of them, the command window was unique to the version. IOW, if I typed something in VFP 7, got out, ran VFP 9, that last thing I typed in 7 was *NOT* in the command window. Now that I have them running on Vista .. they are sharing the command window history.

And I ran FoxPro, USEd my version of FoxPro, made some intellisense mods, yet somehow they appear to be in the Roaming stuff. I don't understand what "Roaming" is and why it's there and how it interacts with things that I think are somewhere else.

"Roaming" probably refers to roaming profiles. This is where your profile is stored on a server, and if you log into different machines on a network the profile gets copied to the machine you've just logged into. This lets you have the same desktop, e-mail and everything else associated with your profile regardless of which machine you log into on a network.

For most people this is way more hassle than it's worth. Each time you log in your local machine has to copy typically hundreds of MBs or even GBs of data from the server to your current workstation leading to long delays. When you shut down, everything has to get copied back with more delays. If for any reason you're not connected to the network when you log in your machine retries for a long time to connect, in an attempt to retrieve the "newest" version before falling back to the last version on your local machine.

You probably want to make your profile local instead of roaming. I don't know how to do that in Vista, but in XP you go to Control Panel...System...Advanced...User Profiles and "Change Type" as required.

As for differences between "Visual FoxPro" and "Visual FoxPro 9" you could take a look under Tools...Options...File Locations in both VFP7 and VFP9 and modify as required.
