CAUSE

FoxPro overflowed a local buffer while attempting to build the Type popup of the server name dialog.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in FoxPro version 2.6a for Windows.

1. Execute the following code:

   CREATE TABLE test(fld1 g)
