Article ID: Q114456
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6

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

STATUS

This design is under review by Microsoft. We will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
