Thanks for the suggestion - I'm just now returning to this problem.

It seems like the resource file stores preferences for a specific file name.

Unfortunately I need to be able to edit files that have names that aren't known until run time.

I suppose I could create or modify a record in a resource file at run time to specify properties for my file name and fake it, but I'm still wondering if there is an easier way.

Thanks,


>Set a resource file and SET RESOURCE ON before the MODIFY COMMAND and SET RESOURCE OFF after it. The resource file may be read-only, so it cannot be modified. You can also include this file into your APP/EXE (so, it's read-only and it's always there).

I'm using MODIFY COMMAND to use the default VFP editor which works well, but sometimes I want the user to see the status line to know the column and line number without manually turning it on. This app has SET RESOURCE OFF so there is no FOXUSER to store preferences in.
