I have recently upgraded from VFP6 to VFP8 (although at
the moment I feel as if I have stepped backwards)and am
not a programmer or developer in any way. XP/SP1 is the OS.

Keyboard macros are much used in my hobby. Could anyone
spare the time and trouble to tell me how to get rid of
the expression builder that pops up as soon as the macro
issues the Locate or Seek command etc. This slows up
things tremendously, especially where the Locate command
is used in Memo fields, by comparison with VFP6.

This sounds like the dreaded Intellisense, to turn it off try this:

Add
COMMAND=_VFP.EditorOptions="KT"
in config.fpw.

(PS config.fpw should be found in VFP's installation directory.)

Andrew:

Many thanks for your suggestion but could you take it a
couple of steps further?

The only config.fpw I can find is buried very deep in
samples\servers\foxisapi\foxis.pjx. Is this the one I
should be amending?

And, please, where and what is the installation directory?

Hi Searson,

VFP8 installs to \Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8\. You may find a
Config.fpw there. If there isn't one you can create one in Notepad with the
COMMAND = ... as shown above. If you have more than one command to execute
you can put them in a "startup" program. My Config.fpw has COMMAND = DO
CindyStartup.prg and CindyStartup has other commands. You can also indicate
a startup program in Tools > Options > File Locations > Startup Program. If
you indicate a startup program you won't need the Conifg file (unless there
are other settings you want to use.)
