ID: Q100568

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a
- Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

## SUMMARY

Page L3-913 in the FoxPro "Language Reference" manual incorrectly states the following:

       To restore the FoxPro startup directory, issue SET DEFAULT
       without any arguments:

          SET DEFAULT TO

Microsoft has confirmed that this documentation error occurs on Page L3-913 in the FoxPro "Language" Reference" manual.

To return to the startup directory, use must use the following command:

        SET DEFAULT TO SYS(2004)

## MORE INFORMATION

### Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. After starting FoxPro, set the default directory to a different

       directory.

2. Issue the SET DEFAULT TO command without any arguments.

3. In the Command window, type:

          ? SYS(2003)

       This command returns the current directory FoxPro is in. Note that
       this directory is not the FoxPro startup directory.
