Problem with 'Snap To Grid' After Upgrade to VFP9

I just upgraded to VFP9 and now when working with all my existing forms, the
designer tools and controls 'Snap to Grid' even though the I have the 'Snap
to grid' box unchecked on the forms tab in the Options form. Additionally, I
have set the Horizontal and Vertical spacings to 1 pixel each and the grid
appears to be set at 12 regardless of what I have set it at..

With new forms, the cursor (mouse) does not snap to the grid. It only
happens with the forms that existed prior to the VFP9 install.

It is the beta version of VFP9 that I have installed. I can go back into
VFP8 and do not have the problem.

Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a way to reset the grid size?

Hello, Jim!

JD> Is there a way to reset the grid size?

I believe VFP stores the grid sizes for each form that is opened in the
foxuser resource file. If VFP finds the grid settings in the foxuser, it
ignores your settings from the VFP Options.
Let us know what happens if you remove the foxuser.

I had that problem, but it was easy for me to solve it.
Before, I had 'Grid Spacing'=6, and VFPx asumes 12, what I did was, went to
'Tools', 'Options', 'Forms', and wrote a '6' to horizontal and Vertical
spacing, then clicked on 'Set As Default'; as I used the same spacing in the
previous version, that solved my problem.

I hope it works for you...

How do I access the foxuser resource file?

Hello, Jim!

You can locate the current foxuser with SYS(2005). Then quit fox and delete
the foxuser.* files.

Won't deleting them cause a problem? Will VFP recreate what it needs?

Can't I go into them and edit them?

Thanks for your help.

PS. I did have trouble once though, where fp was unable to create a foxuser
table after I deleted it. I had to make a new empty one. I don't know
whether others have run into this.
