Thanks for you tips. And most of the time, there is always at least 3 ways to do 1 task in VFP.

Setup my global default settings is always first actions after VFP installation. Very seldom that I need to change from the individual file properties. I even change my settings from registry to get more color selections for IDE. :)

You just need to apply for all editors once from the Options and remember to Set As Default.
