Chris,

>Okay, the Bold doesn't paste, but the SET TALK 'ON' is bold, so the assumed default setting for TALK is OFF. Except that with or without the framework, VFP starts every new datasession with talk ON, and I want it OFF.

If you want to change it for all data sessions on all forms, set it in the AGlobalEnvironment class located in AApp.vcx as follows:

1. Open the AGlobalEnvironment class
2. Select the cSessionEnvironment object contained within the AGlobalEnvironment class
3. Make sure the cTalk property is set to "OFF"
4. Close the class and save changes

Also, check out the section in the MM Dev Guide "Environment Classes"

Regards,
