The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.5

SYMPTOMS

Running the Extended (32-bit) version of FoxPro for MS-DOS (FOXPROX.EXE) and issuing a BROWSE command when the first field is a calculated field causes an "Abnormal Termination" error on 486 machines and hangs 386 machines. This problem occurs in the Extended version only at the MS-DOS prompt, but doesn't occur at the MS-DOS prompt when it is accessed through Windows.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro 2.5 for MS-DOS. This problem was corrected in FoxPro 2.5a for MS-DOS.
