Saving Custom Development Environment

[JOB2828]

I am very new to the world of Visual FoxPro. I am currently running version 9. I just need to know how to setup the development environment to retain my windows settings. I have the data session, document view, and command all linked together. I just want to retain that when I open visual foxpro. It would also be nice to know how to save the settings for the properties window. I know it is possible, because when I used a shortcut generated from my frequently accessed programs list in the windows start menu, it retained these settings from an old project.

Thanks

Do you have RESOURCE checked?

Tools->Options, File Locations tab, Change, check Use resource file checkbox.

Regards,

Mike

Job2828,

Welcome to the Visual FoxPro.

VFP normally retains your Windows settings without any special action on your part. As Mspratt suggested, these settings are stored in a so-called Resource File. If this is not working, it could be that you have the resource file switched off, or it might conceivably be flagged as read-only.

If you're looking for the resource file it'll called FoxUser.dbf by default.

Thank you all for your help. I new it would be something simple. I set the resource to off in a config.fpw file in an old project. While tinkering I must have ran the set resource command to off in the command window. Once again thanks...
