MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Start Visual FoxPro. If the Status Bar is not visible as the bottom
border of the main Visual FoxPro window, it must be set on by typing
the following command in the Command window:
SET STATUS BAR ON
- If the Standard Toolbar (which contains the Run exclamation point
tool) is not visible, it must be set on. (On the View menu, click
Toolbars, and select Standard from the list of toolbars.
- On the File menu, click New, and specify Query as the file type. Then
click the New File button.
- When the Open Table dialog box appears, click Other, and locate the
Customer.dbf, which should be here:
C:\Vfp\Samples\Data
- Within the Query Designer, select all the fields by double-clicking the
asterisk (*) in the Customer.dbf.
- From the Standard Toolbar, select the Run tool to run the query. The
Status Bar will display a message associated with the number of records
selected, and then the message will change to "Runs the current form,
program, report, or query." No other message associated with the cursor
is displayed.
- With the browse still open, use the Window menu to activate the
Command window and type:
SET STATUS BAR ON
Note that the Status Bar message now refers to the Testdata!Query
cursor.
