This article was previously published under Q157945
SYMPTOMS
After installing Visual FoxPro 5.0, color highlighting of key words and
comment lines in FoxPro code may not be active.
CAUSE
This may be the result of installing version 5.0 in the same directory that
Visual FoxPro 3.0 is in.
RESOLUTION
There are three places where you may need to change this: the Command
window, Program windows, and Method Code windows. Use the following steps:
- Right-click or press the Shift+F10 keys in any of the above windows and
select Properties.
- In the Properties window, check the box labeled "Syntax coloring."
- In the property sheet for Program and Method windows, check a second box
called "Apply to .prg files" or "Apply to method code" if coloring of
syntax is desired in all program files and all Method Code windows.
