Thanks, Lee. I'll check it out. I submitted it to Microsoft as a bug along
with a small form that lets you see the problem. If you'd like, I can send
it to you.
Also, a good while back I mentioned here that the Intellisense MRU list for
the BUILD command sometimes worked for me and sometimes didn't. In other
words, sometimes it appeared and sometimes it didn't. I found out the
problem. It only appears when the project is open and only shows one
entry - the one for the open project. I thought that it would work like the
MRU lists for other commands such as USE, MODI FORM, etc., but it doesn't.
I think it should work like them. It's not a great big hairy deal, but it
would be nice to have it work that way. Maybe it's already in VFP 9, I
don't know. Or maybe I even have some control over it via the Intellisense
Manager - haven't checked that out, either. It just seems it should work
the way other MRU lists work for other commands.
Thanks for your help,
Russell Campbell
