Bill,

Hmmm....I guess the event handler -wouldn't- stop with an EDITSOURCE() function, would it. Sorry -- my bad. That makes it a bit tougher to do this operation in one swell foop, though...you may be stuck with two PRG's, one for saving the EditorOptions state/editing the source file and one for restoring the default EditorOptions values.

As it seems you're using the Project Manager for these edits, you might be able to create your own ProjectHook subclass that does some of this for you. I think you might have to wait until VFP8 for some of the events you need to accomplish this, though. I don't have VFP8 available as I write this, or I'd check it out for you.

A crazy thought -- you *might* be able to do the reset of the EditorOptions with a Timer in the Project or ProjectHook and checking date/time of the file against a stored date/time before you edited that same file, but that seems to me to be a huge amount of effort for very little return (not to mention a major kludge).

>Evan,
>Well, it didn't work after all. EDITSOURCE() doesn't wait. It just opens tcPrgName and continues on. So "_VFP.EditorOptions = lcOldOptions" gets executed before I can start editing tcPrgName. But I think this on the right track.

>>>I don't want it turned off all the time. I just want it to quit working when I'm in TEXT..ENDTEXT. I would even accept it, if I could turn it off for the particular PRG, but I don't want to have to remember to turn it back on when I done with that PRG.
