>Would anyone know why my syntax in my prgs suddenly stopped being colored. Some prgs are, others aren't. On the ones that aren't, the edit/preferences/syntax coloring check box is greyed out.

You may have to turn WordWrap off. You can't have both WordWrap and Syntax Coloring on at the same time. If that doesn't help, how about doing a SET RESOURCE OFF? I believe these settings are stored in the FoxUser table, if that helps, try to find that record and delete it.
