- I'm not sure what dBase dialect you're using, but, I've occasionally had this
- problem with FoxBase+/Mac and it's usually because I've done one of the
- following:
-
- 1. The interpreter (Fox, dBase, etc.) is looking in a different directory for
- the procedure file than the current directory. This can usually be fixed with a
- SET DEFAULT TO command.
-
- 2. FoxBase+/Mac doesn't like a procedure in a file that is the same name as the
- file. For example if a have a file called, say, PROC.PRG and then I have a
- procedure inside the file named PROC, then I get an error very similar to what
- you're describing.
-
- I've never used dBase and haven't as yet written any big foxpro programs so I
- don't know how they will handle the above situations.
-
- Hope this helps.
