The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

Passing an invalid argument to the AMEMBERS() function causes an error "Variable <<VariableName>> is Not Found," returns no value, and creates a single-element array with a Logical value of False.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Run the following code in the Command window:

   Release All
   ? AMEMBERS( laMbrs, oTest )
   Discard the "Variable 'oTest' is Not Found" error dialog that comes up
   Disp Memo Like *

Notice that a single-element array is created even though the object name (oTest) is invalid.
