• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

A general protection (GP) fault occurs in FOXDOC.FLL at 0003:96F7 when a program contains the following command and the FoxDoc default extension for indexes is set to IDX:

   DELETE FILE "filename.cdx"

         Create Formatted Source Code Files - Checked
                          Add File Headings - Checked
                   Put into Heading/Indexes - Checked
                   Write Procedure Headings - Checked

              Default Extensions/Index Files - IDX
   
   

3. Generate the application, and you will get the GP fault.
