Update and summary of findings: Syntax highlighting, registry settings and Tools~Options~Editor settings
Hi everybody
I make no apologies for reposting under a different subject but I think it is necessary to avoid confusion. After carrying out a series of tests, and restarting VFP each time I make a change, I can summarise my findings as follows (what I expect is the settings I can see in the Registry Editor)
Summary
1. Sometimes my code window is not what I expect, but the sample code window is what I expect and yet the colour dropdowns do not reflect either (the colour dropdowns do not even agree with the sample code window) 2. Sometimes my code window and the sample code window are both what I expect but the colour dropdowns do not reflect the same 3. Generally speaking the sample code window IS what I expect even when my code window and the colour dropdowns are NOT what I expect
I am wondering if VFP's highlighting in my code windows is "remembering" something from somewhere which is overriding the registry settings? The only thing I can seem to reply upon is the sample code window in the options dialog.
Any thoughts, comments or ideas will be highly appreciated. Many thanks.

Just a WAG - if VFP is remembering something it will most likely be in foxuser.dbf - have you tried deleting that?

Hi Richard
I have tried setting RESOURCE OFF and it makes no difference - my code window is still showing the wrong colours.

I wish I knew why Lookout/Exchange keeps uuencoding my emails...
One other way to approach controlling foxuser is to create a configuration file (clean.fpw) that has
RESOURCE=OFF
in it. For example, I have one that looks like this:
COMMAND=SYS(3050, 1, 512*1024*1024) RESOURCE=OFF BELL=OFF CATMAN=OFF MVCOUNT=2400 KEYCOMP = WINDOWS MULTILOCK=ON TALK = OFF EXCLUSIVE = OFF
But to continue with your environment testing the RESOURCE line is all you should need. Then start VFP with the -c switch pointing at the clean.fpw. Use the full path to the config if it's not in the directory where you are invoking VFP. At that point VFP should not be picking up any saved info from foxuser. This time for sure....

Hi everybody
I make no apologies for reposting under a different subject but I think it
is
necessary to avoid confusion. After carrying out a series of tests, and restarting VFP each time I make a change, I can summarise my findings as follows (what I expect is the settings I can see in the Registry Editor)
Summary
- Sometimes my code window is not what I expect, but the sample code
window is what I expect and yet the colour dropdowns do not reflect either
(the
colour dropdowns do not even agree with the sample code window) 2. Sometimes my code window and the sample code window are both what I expect but the colour dropdowns do not reflect the same 3. Generally speaking the sample code window IS what I expect even when my code window and the colour dropdowns are NOT what I expect
I am wondering if VFP's highlighting in my code windows is "remembering" something from somewhere which is overriding the registry settings? The
only
thing I can seem to reply upon is the sample code window in the options dialog.
Any thoughts, comments or ideas will be highly appreciated. Many thanks.

I wish I knew why Lookout/Exchange keeps uuencoding my emails...
One other way to approach controlling foxuser is to create a configuration file (clean.fpw) that has
RESOURCE=OFF
in it. For example, I have one that looks like this:
COMMAND=SYS(3050, 1, 512*1024*1024) RESOURCE=OFF BELL=OFF CATMAN=OFF MVCOUNT=2400 KEYCOMP = WINDOWS MULTILOCK=ON TALK = OFF EXCLUSIVE = OFF
But to continue with your environment testing the RESOURCE line is all you should need. Then start VFP with the -c switch pointing at the clean.fpw. Use the full path to the config if it's not in the directory where you are invoking VFP. At that point VFP should not be picking up any saved info from foxuser. This time for sure....

Or just set resource off if you don't want to wipe out your resource file.

Just a WAG - if VFP is remembering something it will most likely be in foxuser.dbf - have you tried deleting that?

and Tools~Options~Editor settings
Hi everybody
I make no apologies for reposting under a different subject but I think it
is
necessary to avoid confusion. After carrying out a series of tests, and restarting VFP each time I make a change, I can summarise my findings as follows (what I expect is the settings I can see in the Registry Editor)
Summary
- Sometimes my code window is not what I expect, but the sample code
window is what I expect and yet the colour dropdowns do not reflect either
(the
colour dropdowns do not even agree with the sample code window) 2. Sometimes my code window and the sample code window are both what I expect but the colour dropdowns do not reflect the same 3. Generally speaking the sample code window IS what I expect even when my code window and the colour dropdowns are NOT what I expect
I am wondering if VFP's highlighting in my code windows is "remembering" something from somewhere which is overriding the registry settings? The
only
thing I can seem to reply upon is the sample code window in the options dialog.
Any thoughts, comments or ideas will be highly appreciated. Many thanks.

Well, for sure you will eliminate foxuser as the source of your pain. The problem lives on... : - )

I have already tried exactly that ...
