PRB: Screen Titled "6 of 7" Missing in Group/Total Wizard

• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS

The Group/Total Wizard does not have a screen titled "6 of 7." It goes from a screen titled "5 of 7" to a screen titled "7 of 7."

CAUSE

The report does not contain any numeric fields that are not used in a group header.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Screen 6 of 7 prompts you with the question "Do you want totals, subtotals, or both?" You can choose the Totals and/or Subtotals check boxes to include totals and/or subtotals for each numeric field (that isn't in a group header) within each group defined.

Although this behavior can also be reproduced in FoxPro for MS-DOS, wizard screens in FoxPro for MS-DOS don't contain a title bar displaying the screen number. This makes it less apparent that a screen has been skipped.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. In the Command window, type "CLOSE ALL" (without the quotation marks).

2. From the Run menu, choose Wizard, and then choose Report.

3. When prompted, select Group/Total Report Wizard. Choose Next.

4. When prompted to select a table, choose Open.

5. Select INVOICES.DBF, located in the <FoxPro_directory>\TUTORIAL subdirectory. Choose Open, and then choose Next.

6. When prompted to select a style, choose Next.

7. When prompted for the fields to include, select INO (numeric), CNO character), and IDATE (date) from the Available Fields list box, and add them to the Selected Fields list box. Choose Next.

8. When prompted to select the fields to sort and group by, select INO and from the Available Fields list box and add it to the Group Levels list box. Choose Next.

   Note that the next screen displayed is titled "Group/Total Report Wizard - Step 5 of 7."

9. Choose Next.

NOTE: To see the screen titled "Group/Total Report Wizard - Step 6 of 7," repeat the steps above, but select CNO, which is a character field, instead of INO, which is a numeric field, in step 8.
