ID: Q108825

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 1.02, 2.0, 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b

SYMPTOMS

CAUSE

The RESOURCE statement is set to OFF. The Color Picker loads color sets from the resource file (usually FOXUSER.DBF and its associated memo file, FOXUSER.FPT). If no resource file is in use, there are no color sets to load. Likewise, there also is no place to save color sets.

RESOLUTION

To use the default resource file, issue the following command:

   SET RESOURCE ON

To set a specific resource file, issue the command:

   SET RESOURCE TO <filename>

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

2. Issue the following command:

      SET RESOURCE OFF

3. From the Window menu, choose Color. This displays the color

   Picker dialog box.

Note that the Load and Save buttons are disabled.
