Well, my answer is as you last said: "or since nothing is 'broke'
should I not 'fix it'..."
Moving forward, I would avoid row buffering like the plague due to
implicit consequences if you move the record pointer. The other SET
statements you have above seem fine. Here are the SET statements that I
use in my latest apps:
PROCEDURE DoSets()
* Establish all SET values
SET CENTURY TO 19 ROLLOVER 30
SET CURRENCY TO "$"
IF _vfp.StartMode = 0 THEN
SET TALK ON
SET STATUS ON
SET STATUS BAR ON
SET CONSOLE ON
SET SECONDS ON
ELSE
SET TALK OFF
SET STATUS OFF
SET STATUS BAR OFF
SET CONSOLE OFF
SET SECONDS OFF
ENDIF && _vfp.startmode = 0
SET ESCAPE OFF
SET DELETED ON && mjb 06-07-05 was off
SET EXCLUSIVE OFF
SET CONFIRM ON
SET SAFETY OFF
SET MULTILOCKS ON
SET EXACT ON
SET HOURS TO 12
SET NEAR OFF
SET ODOMETER TO 1000
SET RESOURCE ON
ENDPROC && DoSets()
