Thanks Richard.
I'm sure that Docking has great benefits, just find it annoying that VFP
decides to switch the forms to dockable for me. It's likely due to
locking VFP up and exiting ungracefully. I'll check the Foxuser.dbf to
see if there's any problem there. I would bet that deleting the
Foxuser.dbf would resolve the problem, but then you loose the command
history, etc.

I use an intellisense shortcut when I do want my command window docked.
Dockable windows can be very nice when you have multiple monitors as you can
move the docked windows outside of the main VFP window. For example, in my main
dev environment I keep my command window, properties window, data session, code
refs, etc. on my 2nd monitor. Also, I keep the trace window docked at the top
of the debug frame with the other components below that.
Check your foxuser file for any saved prefs. I think dock state may be in there
although it's possible this is one of those things that lives in the registry
instead...

Subject: VFP9 development environment
Okay, there are much worse problems in this world, but something that annoys me very
often is how VFP9 SP2 (on Win7 Pro) frequently and randomly starts up in development mode
with some of the windows in "Dockable" mode.
I don't want Dockable mode. I don't like Dockable mode. I don't even know what
Dockable mode is for!!!
Usually it's the Command window. But today, randomly, it's the Trace window,
the Properties window, etc.
Is there a way, other than right-click on the offending window's title bar and
un-checking the "Dockable" option, to tell VFP that Dockable is verbotten?
Thanks, I feel better now.
YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
Sorry.
