Development environment configuration

Hi

A couple of quick questions about the vfp9 development environment

1. Is there a way to lock the properties, data session and command windows
in place so that each time I restart they are in the same spot and docked
the way I last used them or if I inadvertently close them they dont lose
their position and docking state

2. Can I modify the intellisense feature so it doesn't always insert to word
'to' when I an typing set filter to or set order to?
I am sick of closing the error and going back to edit the double 'to' - I
have typed this for years and am not likely to forget to type 'to' easily

Cheers
John

1. Locking the window properties is default behavior - sounds like
you may have a corrupt FoxUser.dbf file. It should be hunted down
and destroyed.

Use:

? SET("Resource")

to verify that it is ON, and:

? SYS(2005)

to identify where the file is. Delete it; it will be recreated when
you next start Fox.

2. Go to Tools | IntelliSense Manager, select the "Advanced" tab,
and then click on the "Edit Properties" button. Set the
"lEnableFullSetDisplay" property to F.

Much more can be found in the docs under (surprise!) "IntelliSense."

Thanks Rush

I know - my laziness is showing - I should have had a look in the help file
myself first :)
Cheers
