Jim,

I just ran a test. I opened the project and the form and the default method that came up for editing was the Init. I selected the Refresh method, left it opened and closed the form. Closed Foxpro. Opened Foxpro, the project, the form and the default method was the Refresh. Good so far. Now the problem - I close the methods window, close the form, project and Foxpro. Open everything back up and now the default is back to the Init. Why not Refresh? My resource is ON and other settings are remembered like window positions, etc. This dropdown has never seemed to remember what I expect it to. Of course, that may be the problem; I don't understand enough to know what to expect.
