Article ID: Q104328

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS

Multiple @ ... FILL commands in FoxPro for Windows will appear behind each other if they are using the same row and column locations.

CAUSE

The second @ ... FILL command did not overwrite the first.

RESOLUTION

To solve the problem, issue an @ ... CLEAR command with the same row and column as the first @ ... FILL command. This will clear the first @ ... FILL command from the screen, allowing the second @ ... FILL command to be visible.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Type the following command in the Command window and press ENTER. This will put a blue box on the screen.
```
      @ 2,2 FILL TO 5,5 COLOR GR/B
```
Type the following command in the Command window and press ENTER. This will put a yellow bar next to the blue box.
```
      @ 2,2 FILL TO 5,6 COLOR B/GR
```
