Hi Len,

The Tools/Options settings are stored in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\6.0\Options. Are they changed by VC++/VB or VFP just doesn't read them properly?

>Due to a problem or two, I've been forced to reinstall VS6 + MSDN. Everything installed OK, I've installed SP5.

>The problem is I set my preferred configuration for VFP (Tools/Options & things like syntax colouring, form sizes, default directories, etc), I stop & start VFP, everything is still correct. But when I stop VFP, run VC++ or VB & then restart VFP, all of the settings have reverted to the defaults.
