>Rob, you might try deleting your Foxuser.DBF file from the VFP directory (or changing its name if you're nervous about deleting). It will re-create itself when you load VFP, and you can re-set your defaults. I just did this when I lost my Ctrl-S (Save) and Ctrl-V (Paste) functions. Still don't know the cause, but it worked! Before I deleted it, it had bloated up to about 600K. Now it's a slim 56K.
