KEYWORDS:kbprogramming kbvfp kbvfp300bBUG kbvfp500aBUG kbvfp500bugkbbuglist

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The multiple document interface (MDI) window is a Microsoft Windows standard
that controls the relationship between parent and child windows. For example, if
an MDI-compliant window is maximized, the title bar displays both parent and
child window names. The format for displaying the window names on the title bar
is "parent window name - child window name."

In Visual FoxPro, the title appears above the Visual FoxPro system menu bar but
the window name is displayed in reverse order (child window name - parent window
name). This is contrary to the Windows standard and does not occur in FoxPro
version 2.6 for Windows.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

1. Create a form in Visual FoxPro.

2. Change the Caption property of the form to Customer.

3. Change the MDIForm property of the form to true (.T.).

4. Run the form and maximize the window. Notice that the title of the Visual
   FoxPro window reads "Customer - Microsoft Visual FoxPro" instead of
   "Microsoft Visual FoxPro - Customer."
