PRB: Warning Displays Saving Class With SET SAFETY OFF

ID: Q193945

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When you save a class and give it a filename of a class that already exists, the following error occurs even if SET SAFETY is OFF:

A class with that name already exists, overwrite it?

Visual FoxPro provides you the ability to suppress an overwrite screen on forms, reports, and etc. However, there is not a way to suppress this message when overwriting a class.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Issue the following commands in the Command window:


      SET SAFETY OFF
      CREATE CLASS mycheck OF myclass AS checkbox

Close and save the Class Designer dialog box.

Issue the CREATE CLASS command shown in Step 1 in the Command window again. Note that a message box appears asking to overwrite the class. The SET SAFETY command does not turn off the message box when saving a class.
