Hi!

I suppose you need to search turning off of caching programmatically in registry or Windows INI files, because changing this option requires restarting of Windows, AFAIK.

>MS has confirmed (Case # SRZ000814000598 -- the result of Steve Buttress buttonholing a tech at the Miami DevCon) that Win2K (all versions) with Write Cache turned on will occasionally trash memofields (in my recent experience SCT and MNT files especially) in VFP design mode (easily noted is that the Modified timestamp won't change when having edited them). Write Cache is easily turned off. However, with IDE drives, at least some, the turning off does not stick: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q233/5/41.ASP.
