PRB:Cannot Open File AppleGuideGlueLib When Trying to Quit VFP

Last reviewed: December 17, 1996
Article ID: Q161034

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

The following error message appears when you try to quit Visual FoxPro. Or if you are in a Visual FoxPro executable, this error message appears over and over when you try to quit the executable. In both cases, you cannot quit the program:

   Cannot open file AppleGuideGlueLib.

CAUSE

Help has been set to an Apple Guide Help file, and the Apple Guide extension is not loaded.

RESOLUTION

Type the SET HELP TO command in the Command window so that Help is not set to anything. If you are using Apple Guide Help in an executable, type the SET HELP TO command immediately after the CLEAR EVENTS command.

Also, make sure that the Apple Guide extension is loaded. Visual FoxPro does not install the Apple Guide extension. It is provided with the Macintosh System software.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
