>>>When I close a form code window VFP 5.0a performs a syntax check. If it finds an error it pops up a window with the options "Cancel, Ignore, Ignore All". Quite often selecting any option causes VFP to bomb with an Internal Consistency Error. I then lose all the changes I have made to the form since the last save. Has any one else seen this problem, and if so is there any way to fix it.

Set Resource off && close the resource file
erase (Set("resource",1)) && erase it

This doesn't erase foxuser.fpt, you may have to add a few lines to do that too. I think there's a better way - why not save a good Foxuser file into a spare .dbf, and then, in cases when foxuser is damaged

Set Resource off && close the resource file
erase (Set("resource",1)) && erase it
use SpareFoxuser
copy to (Set("resource",1))
Use
Set Resource On

This way you don't have to rebuild all the settings which were saved in the resource file - just those which were added after the last save.
