properties window in vfp9 1

[113983]

I have a weird problem - my properties window starts with the name of method field only about 3 characters wide - for instance, "Activate" displays as "Act". I can resize, but after quitting and reloading, same thing. I have tried deleting the foxuser.dbf, rebooting, searching thru help - no luck. Any ideas?

Scan your drives for any other instances of "foxuser.dbf", and from there it may take a reinstall of VFP.
Or at least unregister and re-register VFP.

And check to make sure you're not executing SET RESOURCE OFF anywhere. And that you haven't got RESOURCE = OFF in a Config.FPW.

Thanks for the help guys - deleting all the foxuser.dbf files worked! I went into mycomputer, searched for filename - foxuser.dbf - went for lunch! when I got back - 409 foxuser files on list - deleted them - fixed my properties window problem

good way to clean up other wasteful duplicate files

Gosh. 409 FOXUSER files. Is that a record, or can anyone here beat it?

I thought I had a glut when I would come up with 4 or 5!

We develop a commercial package and have a million test directories, then a few thousand development dirs. I EXAGGERATE!

Glad you got it working right.
Just for reference next time though, if you would rather just delete the resource files that 'matter' issue this command from the command window:

?SET("resource",1)

It will tell you which one is in use and you can either delete it or delete the pertinent record.
