ID: Q88625

2.00 MS-DOS kbprg kbfixlist kbbuglist

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

In FoxPro 2.0 for MS-DOS releases dated prior to March 25, 1992, it is not possible to use the ESC key to interrupt printing labels when you are using the following command to print the labels:

   LABEL FORM <label> WHILE INKEY() <> 27

CAUSE

The INKEY() function will contain a value of 27 when the ESC key is pressed. In this instance, the LABEL FORM command is not reevaluating the INKEY() value.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS releases dated prior to March 25, 1992. This problem was corrected in the Microsoft FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS release dated March 25, 1992.
