Hi Sonali,

>Hi! This is a rather dumb question

No such thing here.... :-)


>Certain SET commands are scooped to a data session. Whenwe open a private data session where are the setting coming from

From their default values set by VFP. For example, the default for SET DELETED is OFF. Check out help for a specfic SETting and it will indicate the default setting.

>and how can one set certain global settings e.g. for Currency etc.

Well, for those settings not scoped to a private data session you could SET them in a Main.Prg or other startup program.

HTH,
