SYMPTOMS
Leaving off the optional [eExpression] in SQLSetProp may not restore Visual FoxPro defaults for all SQL properties.



WORKAROUND
The values must be set manually, instead of relying on SQLSetProp to restore the default values.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.



MORE INFORMATION
The help file describes eExpression as "specifies the value for the setting you designate with cSetting. If you omit eExpression, the default value is restored for the setting."

However, the following properties are not restored to their default settings when leaving eExpression off:   WaitTime - Resets to zero and default is 100 Transactions - Gives error message "Property value is out of bounds" DispLogin - Gives error message "Property value is out of bounds" BatchMode - Resets to false (.F.)

Steps to Reproduce Problem
Type the following commands in the Command Window: x = SQLCONN                 && You can use any data source. ?SQLGetProp(x,"WaitTime")     && Returns 100 ?SQLSetProp(x,"WaitTime",200) && Returns 1 ?SQLGetProp(x,"WaitTime")     && Returns 200 ?SQLSetProp(x,"WaitTime")     && Returns 1 ?SQLGetProp(x,"WaitTime")     && Returns 0! ?SQLDisConn(x) The last call to SQLGetProp returns 0 when the default for WaitTime is 100.
