PRB: SET DATE Help Cross-References Wrong SET MARK Topic

• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6
• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6
• Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5b, 2.5c

SYMPTOMS

In the "SET DATE" online Help topic, the See Also popup contains a cross- reference to the topic for SET MARK OF, which controls the mark character in menus, instead of the topic for SET MARK TO, which specifies the delimiter used in date formats.

CAUSE

The See Also jump text in the "SET DATE" topic is "SET MARK OF" instead of "SET MARK TO."

NOTE: The .DBF-style Help file (FOXHELP.DBF), included in FoxPro for Windows and FoxPro for MS-DOS, has the See Also jump text "SET MARK," which also jumps to the "SET MARK OF" topic.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem occurs with both the FOXHELP.DBF and FOXHELP.HLP Help files.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. In the Command window, issue the following commands:

         SET HELP TO <FoxPro_directory>\foxhelp.dbf
         HELP SET DATE
   

2. In the SET DATE help window, open the See Also list box.

3. Select SET MARK.
