Article ID: Q118745

SYMPTOMS

The error message "Invalid function argument value, type, or count" is produced when the _WGetCursor() function is called in FOXTOOLS.FLL.

CAUSE

The cause of this problem has not yet been determined.

RESOLUTION

Use the FoxPro Library Construction Kit (LCK) to write an .FLL containing a function that calls the _WGetCursor() function. Instead of calling the _WGetCursor() function in FOXTOOLS.FLL, call your function, which in turn calls _WGetCursor() and returns the appropriate value.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro version 2.6 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
