SYMPTOMS
If you use the SET COMPATIBLE ON command, the BROWSE LAST (or BROWSE NOINIT) command does not show the previous settings of the Browse window.



RESOLUTION
Use the SET COMPATIBLE OFF command if the BROWSE LAST command behavior is more important than the other features affected by the SET COMPATIBLE command. The SET COMPATIBLE command is also controlled by Tools:Options:General:dBase compatibility.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
Type the following code into the Command window: USE HOME + &quot;labels&quot; BROWSE BROWSE LAST SET COMPATIBLE ON BROWSE LAST Note that the columns are now in their original order.
 * !* Move the first column to the end and close the window
 * !* Note that the columns are as you left them
