Summary of Changes
------------------
SUMMARY: International date formats produced an "Invalid date" message when
used in a "Between" expression in RQBE.
SUMMARY: Accented characters used in field names in the MODIFY STRUCTURE
dialog appear incorrectly when modified on another platform when
codepage=AUTO.
SUMMARY: The 16-bit FoxPro for MS-DOS product sometimes generated erroneous
commands when opening a .TXT file when the "Other Code Page" check
box was checked in the Open File dialog.
SUMMARY: The FoxPro for Windows Setup Wizard included with the Distribution
Kit generated unnecessary zeros in the Compress command line with
certain settings of SET POINT.
SUMMARY: When a table was tagged with a code page other than the current
working code page, data in a memo field could be lost if the memo
file was reorganized.
SUMMARY: In the 16-bit FoxPro for MS-DOS product, issuing the commands APPEND
MEMO, COPY MEMO, and REPLACE memo1 WITH memo2 (this includes general
and picture fields) could result in the new data not being written.
SUMMARY: If you attempted to close FoxPro for Windows through the Task List,
the ON SHUTDOWN command didn't execute, and control didn't return to
FoxPro for Windows. Instead, FoxPro for Windows "flashed" for a
split second and then FoxPro for Windows disappeared from Task List.
When you attempted to exit Windows, the Windows message box (called
by the ON SHUTDOWN command) appeared and Windows would hang.
SUMMARY: When a READ was active and you exited FoxPro for Windows with End
Task, FoxPro didn't release all resources/memory. Any ON SHUTDOWN
command was ignored, and the system would sometimes hang.
SUMMARY: MODIFY MEMO didn't respect the code page of the underlying table/DBF.
SUMMARY: When REFRESH was set to >0, if you had an open BROWSE window
containing fields from two tables (related one-to-many) and the
record pointer was positioned on a child record, upon refreshing,
FoxPro moved the record pointer to the first child record in the
parent table.
SUMMARY: A WAIT WINDOW command with embedded newlines displayed the lines in
the window incorrectly when you pressed and released the Ctrl or
Shift key. The second line disappeared and the WAIT WINDOW would
resize itself to display only the word on the first line.
SUMMARY: The WAIT WINDOW command brought FoxPro to the front over all other
applications.
SUMMARY: With a Browse window open, when you used Help then issued the SET
HELP TO command, FoxPro closed the BROWSE window.
SUMMARY: In FoxPro for Windows, when report variables were initialized in a
UDF (and were self-referential, i.e. memvar=memvar+1) FPW returned
improper results.
SUMMARY: Indexing on a numeric expression composed of a very long calculation
formula sometimes caused a "general protection fault" in FoxPro 2.5a
for Windows and sometimes caused FoxPro 2.5a for MS-DOS to hang.
This was the index expression that caused the problem:
INDEX ON VAL(SUBSTR(NN1,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NN2,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NN3,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NN4,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NN5,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NN6,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NN7,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NN8,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NN9,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NNA,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NNB,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NNC,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NND,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NNE,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NNF,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NNG,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NNH,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NNI,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NNJ,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NNK,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NNL,1,20)) + ;
VAL(SUBSTR(NNM,1,20)) + VAL(SUBSTR(NNN,1,20)) ;
TAG rptsort
SUMMARY: Under certain circumstances during a COPY FILE, FoxPro reported that
the file did not exist.
SUMMARY: In some circumstances, FoxPro for Windows (or the Distribution Kit)
displayed "Engineering Prototype" in the released version.
SUMMARY: In the Report Writer's Print Preview dialog, zooming the report
then pressing the Spacebar generated an "internal consistency error."
These two steps did not have to be the first two steps. It would
happen at any time.
SUMMARY: With CODEPAGE=Auto and a table/DBF built on a platform other than
the current platform, data in memo fields could not be completely
deleted through the Browse window.
SUMMARY: In FoxPro 2.5a for Windows, the EVAL( ) function didn't behave
correctly when included in a group expression.
