Bugs Fixed by XBS110.DLL Version Number 1.10.0002

PROBLEM ID: 2186

    Relates to DBase III

    An update is allowed that violates unique index. Using the XB110.DLL
    driver that shipped with Visual Basic, it is possible to add multiple
    records that share the same unique index. The new version of the
    driver does not allow you to update the database with a record that
    contains the same unique index value as an existing record.

PROBLEM ID: 2390

    Relates to FoxPro 2.5

    A general protection (GP) fault occurs when updating the record
    immediately preceding a record locked by another user. The GP fault
    occurs in XBS110.DLL at 0002:11DA.

PROBLEM ID: 2418

    Relates to DBase III

    A unique index is corrupted after an update query. The symptom of
    this problem is that the first 239 items in the table are not found.

PROBLEM ID: 2432

    Relates to DBase III, IV and Fox Pro 2.0, 2.5

    SeekEQ on NULL returns first non-null record when there are no NULL
    records in the column.

PROBLEM ID: 2457

    Relates to: FoxPro 2.5

    Attempting to update a record results in a GP Fault in XBS110.DLL
    at 0013:144A when the IDX index type is used.

PROBLEM ID: 2487

    Relates to FoxPro 2.5

    A GP fault in XBS110.DLL occurs at 001A:05F6 when using INSERT INTO on
    the same table as the FROM clause uses -- that is, when copying records
    from a table into itself.

PROBLEM ID: 2511

    Relates to FoxPro 2.0 and 2.5

    A GP fault in XBS110.DLL occurs at 0002:11DA when inserting the 98th
