store deleted status to variable 1

[monkey666]

morning

Is there a way of storing the current DELETED status (ON/OFF) to a variable?

The code needs to SET DELETED ON but then return the DELETED status to what it was previously whether it was ON or OFF, so a simple SET DELETED OFF is not sufficient as this may not have been the previous DELETED state.

SET("DELETED&quot

Hi Monkey,

This is easy. Just use SET("DELETED&quot, like so:

OldDeleted = SET("DELETED&quot
SET DELETED ON
....
do something
....
SET DELETED &OldDeleted

You can do the same sort of thing with nearly all the SET commands.

Funny though VFP 6 seems to have left the option out of the help though

Merci Beaucoup

couldn't find it in VFP 7 help at all.

but typing 'SET(' in the command window brings up a whole list.

That is going to be useful in storing all the settings (CPDIALOG, EXACT etc) before I change them.
