ID: Q141528

3.00 3.00b WINDOWS kbother kbbuglist kbfixlist

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0 and 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

The Validation Text properties button in the Database Designer has a limitation. When the text box is filled with the maximum of 253 characters, Visual FoxPro will shut down. If the operating system is Windows for Workgroups, it will shut down immediately, and if the operating system is Windows 95, you'll first receive an Invalid Page Fault error message.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Open a database (.dbc file) by using the MODIFY DATABASE command.

2. Click any table to select it. Then right-click, and choose Modify.

3. In the text box next to Validation text, enclose in as many characters

   in quotation marks as it will allow (253 characters).

4. Click OK. In Windows 95, an Invalid Page Fault will occur. In Windows

   for Workgroups, Visual FoxPro quits and sends you directly to the
   operating system without an error.
