show view window

[gerlo]

Hi,

I have been working with foxpro 2.6 about ten years ago.
I still have a database program working with 4 dbf's working in it.
I can go to the command line, but forgot the command for showing the view window with the databases in it.
Can someone help me please?

Thanks, Gerlo

Are you referring to the 'SET' command?

SET <Enter> with no parameters displays all currently open tables.

If you're talking about an actual "VIEW", this is from the help file:

SET VIEW Command

See Also



Opens or closes the View window or restores the FoxPro environment from a view file.

Syntax

SET VIEW ON | OFF
or
SET VIEW TO <file> | ?

Remarks

Issue SET VIEW ON to open the View window. The View window is one of the most useful FoxPro tools. It provides an easy way to open
tables/.DBFs, establish relations and set or change many FoxPro options. See the FoxPro User's Guide for more information on the View
window.
For more information on view files, see CREATE VIEW.

Clauses

ON

Include ON to open the View window.

OFF

Include OFF to close the View window.
The default for SET VIEW is OFF.

TO <file> | ?

Issuing SET VIEW TO <file> restores the FoxPro environment to the state it was in when the view file specified with <file> was created. View
files are created with CREATE VIEW.

Thanks both for your prompt reply.
But neither works
All the program responds is:
Syntax error or Feature not available.
There was away around this while being in the command line in this specific program. But which?

[dgrewe]

OK, for my Syntax error changed the

Create Window browwind ...........
to
Define Window browwind.........

Sorry, been awhile since I had to use 2.6

from the command line (command window)
Alt W (together) and then V

I guess I'm still not exactly clear as to what it is you are doing or trying to accomplish.

BROWSE will show the current table
SET will display open tables

"Feature Not Available" says to me you are trying to do certain commands from the application which are only available during development time, such as SET STEP ON.
