I don't think so, but that's not the issue. We want ESCAPE on during the normal operation of our app, but we don't want the "Executing Remote..." message. I can wrap SQL Server calls to turn ESCAPE off and back on, but I wondered if there was a better way.

>>SET ESCAPE OFF can be used to suppress the "Executing Remote..." message when querying a large amount of data from SQL Server. It works, but I have to put that in a lot of places. I was wondering if a system wide setting was added in later versions of VFP, something along the lines of SET TABLEPROMPT or SET NOTIFY. Any idea?
