>>Well I see now that if I goto the Environment Manager tab and click "Manage Environments", that I can click the little "set" button in the popup window to set the enviornment - but what a pain in the neck! I've gone from 2 clicks to like 9 clicks! I mean over a year's time you know how many clicks that is?? This could cost me like 30 minutes a year! And my poor little mouse is taking a beating too!

>>Surely someone knows how I can get the list of my projects back in the Enviornment Manager tab of the task pane. Sergery??? Anyone???

Well...interestingly enough that didnt really do it either...however it got me playing around with a few things and I DID figure out what's causing the problem...and I can duplicate it too.

From the Enviornment Manager tab in the task pane...
Click "Manage Enviornements"...
Now the Enviornment Manager Window appears....
Pick a project there (or create one).
Select the "Environment Settings" tab.

Now....where it says "Run Script after Environment is set and project is loaded:"
This is where the problem is. If you just type something in the text box there and click OK, all is well - works fine and dandy - no problems - yippie....BUT... if you click the little "..." box to the right of this edit box, an empty .prg window comes up. In my case all I was doing was typing in a "SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR 70", then closing it. Well once you do that and then click the "OK" button to save all this...the project disappears from the Environment Manager tab in the task pane! Oooops. So golly gee wizzz did I just find a bug or what?
