The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS

Inserting an object in a General field causes a general protection (GP) fault.

CAUSE

FoxPro overflowed a local buffer while attempting to build the Type popup of the server name dialog.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in FoxPro version 2.6a for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Execute the following code:

    CREATE TABLE test(fld1 g) APPEND BLANK MODIFY GENERAL fld1

  2. Select the Insert Object... option from the Edit menu pad.

  3. Press the File push button.

With a sufficient number of OLE servers in the Type list, FoxPro will GP fault.
