BUG: ON ERROR Statement Not Executed in Browse of Table

 Last reviewed: April 25, 1997
Article ID: Q139768

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a

SYMPTOMS

An ON ERROR routine in a Browse command is ignored and a system error message dialog box is returned instead. When code is executed that does essentially the same thing, the ON ERROR routine works correctly.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

  3. In the Command window, type the following commands:

    Scatter memvar Append blank Gather memvar && Note that ON ERROR routine triggers.
