Hi Bill,

I'd first find out what the setting would be. Probably, "RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto" for the EditorKeywordColor and EditorCommentColor entries. Be sure to check this, however. Since the entries are strings, the registry class that ships with VFP can do the job of writing these. Once the new data is written, call SYS(3056) so the VFP updates the settings.

Of course, once this is done, simply checking these values will be all that's necessary.

hth,
