command window, used to keep last used phrases? 2

[CMcC]

Hello all.
Somehow, something has been disabled in my command window. It used to keep a list of what had recently been typed, such as USE , then a dropdown would show of the recent tables used, and MODI FORM would list all the forms recently edited.

Where can this be enabled? I have tried to search on google with no luck. Thanks
CMCC

I *think* this may be what you are thinking of?

Persistence of Contents
The contents of the Command window are saved to a file, _command.prg, automatically unless the noRecentDocHistory system policy is enabled or you are not using a FoxUser resource file. You can clear the window by selecting Clear from the Command Window shortcut menu. To enable its use by multiple instances of Visual FoxPro, the file is only read when starting Visual FoxPro, and written when exiting Visual FoxPro. The file is located in the same directory as the FoxUser resource file. You can determine or change the location of the resource file from the Options dialog box, File Locations tab, or via language using SET("RESOURCE") or SET RESOURCE respectively.

So my guess is that you need to SET RESOURCE ON

Alternatively, Intellisense has become disabled.

Go to Tools / Intellisense Manager, and check there is a tick against Enable Intellisense. And also that List Memeber is set to Automatic.

Hi Mike. Yes, Set Resource On allowed me to view what was previously called. Thanks very much to you all.
