BUG: FFCs - _Hyperlink Classes Builder Doesn't Allow Long URL

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

The Target URL combobox in the _Hyperlinklabel Builder does not allow any URL longer than 34 characters.

RESOLUTION

You can type in any long URL directly to the cTarget property instead of using the combobox in the builder.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

The Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 readme erroneously lists this bug as being fixed. Service Pack 3 did not fix this bug.
