>>>i recently installed sp5 and when i run my vfp6 [os win2000], i notice that all reads are shown [echoed] on the first form although i have set 'talk', 'status', 'score' off in my config.fpw file. this did not happen before the sp5 installation.

>>>how do i get rid of this problem? ta.

>>SET TALK is scoped to the current data session as are some other SET commands. See 'SET DATASESSION Command' in help for the complete list. If your form uses private datasession you have to include SET TALK OFF and any other set command from the list above into Load of the form or better of into load of the form's base class.
