Thanks for bringing that up and saying (I think) that it works properly. I remember seeing CREATE VIEW / SET VIEW TO used that way in an app I worked on and thinking, Nah, it can't be that easy....

>Almost all of the old SETs still do work. I was on a project with the documentation folks back in 2001/2 to straighten up the VFP docs and I remember testing the heck out of all of the SETs. I think SET DOHISTORY doesn't work anymore but most of the others still do.

And I got that habit while still in W95... when W98 came, I quite forgot about Set Clock... now that I think about it, there seems to have been some display issue, it would leave a trace or would cause some odd refresh glitches, so we didn't turn it on.
