WINDOWS | MS-DOS kbprg kbprb

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6
Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS

If there are no tables in the current catalog, the Query Wizards are inaccessible. If you attempt to invoke the Query Wizards from the Catalog Manager (by selecting New while the Query tab is active) without any tables in the current catalog, FoxPro will prompt you for the name of a .QPR file, the name of a database, and then the RQBE window will be opened.

RESOLUTION

Add a table to the catalog or run the Query Wizards by choosing Wizard and then choosing Query from the Run menu.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. In the Command window, type the following:

      DO (SYS(2004)+'CATALOG.APP')

2. If you are prompted for a catalog file, choose New and then type the

   name of a new catalog. If a catalog file is automatically opened, choose
   New Catalog from the File menu in the Catalog Manager, and then type the
   name of a new catalog.

3. Select the Query tab, and then choose the New button.

4. Type the name of a new .QPR file in the Save Query As dialog box.

6. Select a database file in the Select A Table dialog box.

The RQBE window is opened.
