>>Yeah, I get a "duh!" on this. Here's the solution. In the command window issue, SET RESOURCE OFF. Then go and open your FOXUSER.DBF. Locate the record where the ID field equals WATCHEXPR. Mark it for deletion then PACK the table. It'll remove all the variables from the list.

I tested the solution that I offered Stephen, and provided he can remove the field, it should work (at least in 6.0). A search of the registry revealed that the information isn't stored there so removing the record from the resource file should work. Of course, I didn't test it with a GETDIR() in the watch window, but I did have a number of variables declared and removing the record did have the effect of removing these. Hopefully, this will work for Stephen without having to do a re-install (ugh!).
