SYMPTOMS

Visual FoxPro version 3.0 terminates with a general protection (GP) fault when you are creating a form, if you insert an OLE Container and then exit from Visual FoxPro with the Insert Object dialog box still open.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in FoxPro 3.0b for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

This GP fault is specific to Windows 95; it should not occur on other platforms.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Save all your work before continuing.

  2. In the Command window, type:

    CREATE FORM myform

  3. Place an OLE Container control on the form.
