Just purchased vfp 9.0, about time! I read a thread where someone else had this problem of it not displaying the record count in the status bar. I have tried set message on, set notify on all to no avail. What am I missing here? Also, curious, can the autofill be shut off? I have yet to find that option in the settings menu. I am finding it just a little distracting so far. Thanks for any responses. Tek Tips is the ultimate resource for answers in my opinion.

ok, I finally found the answer myself. For anyone else with the problem its SET NOTIFY CURSOR ON . As always, seems to be a simple answer if you look long enough for it. Now to figure out autofill and turning off the task pane that loads each time I fire up VFP 9

Gfrlaser,
By "autofill", do you mean Intellisense? (The little bubbles of Help the pop up as you are typing code).
If so, do this:
- Tools / Intellisense Manager.
- Remove tick from Enable Intellisense.
But, here's a better idea:
- Keep Intellisense enabled, but set the List Member and Quick Info Tips options to Manual. That way, the bubbles won't pop up as you type, but you can invoke them on demand by pressing Ctrl+I and Ctrl+J respectively.
Better still:
- Keep Intellisense fully enabled, and get used to it. Once you've used it for a while, you'll find it a wonderful time-saver, and it will easily outweigh the initial irritation.
To turn off the Task Pane when VFP loads (and I don't blame you for wanting to do this):
- Open the Taks Pane.
- Click the Options button (at the top, over to the right).
- Go the the Task Pane Manager page.
- Remove the tick against Open the TaskPane Manager Whenever Visual FoxPro Starts.
I hope this helps, and you enjoy using VFP 9.0. It's a great development environment, but you have to get used to its quirks.
