The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5b, 2.6

SYMPTOMS

If a report band is resized over the position of the cursor, a general protection (GP) fault will occur.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, leave multiple-object mode by clicking elsewhere on the screen before moving the separator bar.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro 2.5b and 2.6 for Windows. This problem was corrected in FoxPro version 2.6a for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

The GP fault occurs anytime a separator bar above the position of the cursor is moved while the Report Writer is in this mode.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Modify any report using the Report Writer.

2. Double-click the Text tool, which places the Report Writer in multiple-

   object mode. The "A" should become reverse video.

3. Click anywhere in the Detail band to insert the cursor. You do not have

   to type any text.

4. Click the Adjustment button on the the separator bar between the Page

   Header and Detail Band. (The separator bar is on the left side of the
   Report Layout window.)

5. Pull the bar down over the Detail band.

6. Release the mouse button. A GP fault should occur.

This problem occurs only when the Text tool is in multiple-object mode.
