DOCERR: Help Topic "Switching Views" Is Incorrect in VFP 3.0

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

SUMMARY

The example in the Visual FoxPro Help under "Switching Between Local and Remote Data at Run Time" has an error. Step 7 states the following incorrectly:

   In the Init event code for the data environment, call the data
   environment's OpenTables method:

      THIS.OpenTables

MORE INFORMATION

For the example to work correctly, step 7 should be changed to the following:

   In the Load event code for the form, call the data environment's
   OpenTables method:

      THISFORM.Dataenvironment.OpenTables

   In the Init event code for the cursor, set the CursorSource property to
   the appropriate view, based on the setting of the user-defined form
   property.

   For example, the following code checks the form property and accordingly
   sets the CursorSource to a remote or local view:

      IF THISFORM.UseRemote = .T.
         THIS.CursorSource = RemoteView
      ELSE
         THIS.CursorSource = LocalView
      ENDIF

   In the OpenTables method code for the data environment, set the
   CursorSource property of the cursor to the appropriate view, based on
   the setting of the user-defined form property.

   For example, the following code checks the form property and accordingly
   sets the CursorSource to a remote or local view:

      IF THISFORM.UseRemote = .T.
         THIS.Cursor1.CursorSource = RemoteView
      ELSE
         THIS.Cursor1.CursorSource = LocalView
      ENDIF
