Tools Options location of stored defaults 1

[StewartUK]

Can anyone tell me where VFP7 stores settings when you click Set as default on the Tools Options dialog?

I thought it was the foxuser table, but when I copied that to another computer, my settings for say syntax colouring weren't the same.

Thanks,

Stewart

Stewart,
Starting in VFP, these are stored in the registry. See:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\5.0\Options\ [\code]
Just change 5.0 to 6.0, 7.0 or 8.0 to see these default settings for your appropriate version(s) of VFP.

There is a very handy tool in VFP6 where you can copy all of your Options setting to the command window. I presume it is the same for VFP7.

Make sure your command window is cleared of any commands. Open the Tools Options dialog screen. Hold down the shift key and click OK. All of your defaults will be pasted into the command window. Then copy the code into a program and run it in fox on the other computer.

Hope this helps

Thanks Mike & Rick, that was what I wanted.

Thanks Chris as well. I knew about outputting the options to the comand window, but I hadn't thought of then putting the result into a program. However the registry option is permanent.

Thanks,

Stewart
