SYMPTOMS

After you install FoxPro version 2.6 and build a project or generate a screen, TEXT ... ENDTEXT structures in applications are ignored.

CAUSE

The screen generator GENSCRN.PRG issues the SET TEXTMERGE NOSHOW command, which disables output from TEXT ... ENDTEXT structures.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, issue the SET TEXTMERGE SHOW command in the Command window after you generate your application. GENSCRN.PRG makes this environmental change and does not restore the setting of SET TEXTMERGE.

This behavior will not occur in a FoxPro session if the screen generator is not invoked.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

NOTE: This does not occur under Visual FoxPro for Windows, because it does not use GENSCRN.PRG.
