BUG: Menu Manager Internal Consistency Error When Build Screen

- Microsoft FoxPro for Windows versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6, 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

Generating a screen when its corresponding .SPR file is open causes the following error if additional .SCX files are also open:

   Menu Manager Internal Consistency Error

WORKAROUND

Close the .SPR file before generating the screen. If there is a chance that the .SPR file may be left open, close any other open .SCX files.

STATUS

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Connect to the CUSTOMER.DBF database by using the USE command.

2. Create a quick screen. Then save it as TEST.SCX, and generate it.

3. Open the TEST.SPR file.

4. Open another <screenname>.SCX file.

5. Generate TEST.SCX.

6. Press a key to continue after the "File in use" error. Now you'll see error, "Menu Manager Internal Consistency Error," which is usually followed by a general protection (GP) fault.

   NOTE: The correct behavior is the redisplay of the Generate Screen dialog.
