The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS

Using Windows-style keystrokes in the Output Fields list box does not deselect items like it does in the list boxes in the RQBE Select Fields dialog box.

RESOLUTION

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

In the Command window, issue the following command:
```
      set keycomp to windows

Create a new query.
Enter the OUTPUT FIELDS LIST dialog box.
Use the SPACEBAR to make an initial selection.
Select fields by holding down the SHIFT key and pressing the DOWN ARROW key.
