Report colors

[tondi]

We use the following code to view report data on the screen.
The problem is certain words (report, for, to, day) in the report which happen to be syntax words appear in color. I can eliminate color when running from command window but when I compile and run it on user's computer colors reappear. Any suggestions on how to eliminate the color for end user?

SET SAFETY OFF
DELETE FILE tips.txt
REPORT FORM tips TO FILE tips.txt NOCONSOLE ASCII
DEFINE WINDOW wTips FROM 4,15 TO 45,105 TITLE "PRESS ESC TO EXIT"
ACTIVATE WINDOW wTips
MODIFY COMMAND tips.txt NOEDIT NOMENU;
WINDOW wTips RANGE 1,1
SET SAFETY ON
DEACTIVATE WINDOW wTips

Use MODIFY FILE rather than MODIFY COMMAND.

Can't tell if it worked. When I run the program
after the suggested change it just blinks and goes away.

Thanks Tamar,
The change did not work for me. When I step thru with Debug the window appears but without data.

"the window appears but without data"

It might be happening because your program cannot find the file in question (tips.txt). Try to specify the full path.

Try adding NOWAIT to the MODIFY FILE.

Thanks Tamar,
I did try that but no luck.
We resolved the issue by creating and using a memo file.
