I'm working on my first project and have some very elementary (dumb) questions.

1) When I open a project, do I have to type "set default to ..." in the command window? If I change the defaults in the file locations of the options selection in the tools menu is that just for that project or any other project I open. Eventually, I hope to be able to distribute my applications - I'm not certain how I tell FoxPro where to find the files then.

2) I have a form in whick I create a grid based on a SQL. It works for one time through. But.. I want to run this in a loop so that the user can select the continue button & start over. When I do this, I get the message, file in use. I close the cursor with a USE but I'm not certain how I delete it. My background is Clipper & cursors are foreign. Then, how do I set the file that I create the cursor from as the primary file?

3) How do I remove the bar that shows the query is running?

4) Coming from a DOS background, I'm used to my forms taking up the whole desktop. Is this not done in VFP? If so, how do I adjust the size of the form? But also the objects on it?

Thanks.
