BUG: ADIR() with V Attribute May Return Empty String

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a

SYMPTOMS

If the current Visual FoxPro default directory is not the root directory, when you execute the ADIR() command with the V attribute, which is intended to return the volume label of the drive containing the directory passed to the ADIR()function, ADIR() populates the destination array with an empty string, rather than the correct volume label.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This has been corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.
