Restoring Default FoxPro 1.02 Resource File Color Sets

ID: Q108171

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 1.02

SUMMARY

The FoxPro for MS-DOS resource file (by default FOXUSER.DBF and its associated memo file, FOXUSER.FPT) contains 18 default color sets when FoxPro is first installed. If this information is deleted or damaged, no color sets are listed in the Load Color Sets dialog box of the Color Picker.

To restore the original color sets, run the PROINST.PRG program.

MORE INFORMATION

To view the color sets

1. From the Window menu, choose Color. This displays the Color Picker

   dialog box.

This dialog box is empty if the resource file does not contain any color sets.
