Shutoff Clock from config file

[jabhawk2]

Help, This should have been a simple process of setting the CLOCK to OFF in the config.fp file. But of course the simple things are never that simple.

I have a FP 2.6DOS application set where the code does NOT have a "SET CLOCK ON" statement. I need to force all called FP sessions to have the CLOCK set to OFF.

I have tried adding the following to the config.fp file being used:
SET CLOCK OFF
CLOCK = OFF
CLOCK OFF
CLOCK NO
SHUT THE D**M CLOCK = OFF

Nothing is working and I waste 80% of the CPU time on clock refresh. Any help is appreciated.

The correct config.fp command is
CLOCK = OFF
If that does not work you have something else in the PRG turning it back on.

Other CPU savers are:
STATUSBAR = OFF
STATUS = OFF
TALK = OFF

You can download foxfree program. This frees cpu even you have clock on.

CLOCK=OFF (without spaces as far as I remember).

if you are using a View as in SET VIEW TO myview

The view has a setting for the clock which is saved, and restored when the view is called.
To change this from the command prompt:
SET View TO myview
From the menu at the top of the screen ... Window-->View
On the left panel , select Misc
You can then select or deselect the clock

then File->Save as --- to save the view
