>Yeah. Kill Foxuser.dbf and try starting VFP with the -A switch to start with no config file. Go to options, change your settings, and click Set As Default to create a new preferences set. Maybe this will give you a clean slate.

I keep doing this, and it does make the problem go away for awhile. I just have to figure out what's corrupting what and when.
