I cannot figure out how to find a switch to cause the browser to remember settings of the previous session like the position of the project manager on the screen, its dimensions, etc. It concerns only my new XP installation which I am beginning to like.

Every time I bring the browser with the _screen up I have to start from scratch. It is not the case in other OS and I cannot figure out why. I looked in Tools-->Options everywhere and could not see anything related to the system memory.

Thanks.

What Browser do you mean

If you mean the settings on the FoxPro IDE screen, then make sure SET RESOURCE is set to ON

so you set it to use a FoxUser.DBF file

See also SYS(2005):

Thanks, Alex, but I am still confused.

My foxuser.dbf file was in the wrong directory, so I straightened it out. It did not help at all. On top of that I do not understand why the same project works practically without foxuser.dbf on two different partitions with two different OS: Win2K and WinSer2003. Over there I do not have any problem and the settings are the same.

I issued the SET RESOURCE ON command at the screen's Command Window and also started using it in my app settings file. The system does not seem to notice. The problem is still there.
