Hi Brian,

Yes, but unfortunately, all that does is to create a situation in which the VFP7 start page opens every time regardless of whether or not you want it to. Remember that I want to create shortcuts to open VFP7's start page directly, or C#'s start page, or VB's depending on what is in the command line. Changing the default simply means that when I click my c# shortcut, I'll get the C# filter with the VFP7 start page. Not ideal.

I've tried blanking out the default altogether, but the msdn won't allow that.

I'd like to change the default on the fly, I guess, but there doesn't seem to be a command line switch to do it. Frustrating.

Thanks anyway for trying though.

Alan
