SYMPTOMS

The icons used in the AutoScreen and AutoReport buttons of Catalog Manager don't clearly represent the purpose of each button.

WORKAROUND

Perform the following steps to display a description of either button in the Status bar at the bottom of the FoxPro window:

1. Position the mouse pointer over the AutoScreen or AutoReport button.

2. Press and hold the mouse button. Note that a message appears in the

   Status bar for AutoScreen or AutoReport, depending on which you've
   chosen.

3. If you don't want the AutoScreen or AutoReport button to run, move the

   mouse pointer off the button, and then release the mouse button.

The descriptions displayed in the Status bar for each button are displayed below:

   AutoScreen

   Automatically create and run a screen based on the active table/query

   AutoReport
   ----------

   Automatically create and run a report based on the active table/query
