Last reviewed: July 14, 1997
Article ID: Q166379

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS

Using wide character field names for a grouping band or a Print When expression in a report created with a localized version of FoxPro for Windows 2.5b hangs the system when performing a report preview under Windows 3.2 (Simplified Chinese Version) and Windows 3.1 (Traditional Chinese Version).

RESOLUTION

Alter the wide character (Double Byte) field name into an English field name if the particular field is for grouping or for a Print When expression.

STATUS

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