2.60a WINDOWS kbprg kbfixlist kbbuglist

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS
When three Browse windows are on the screen, each with a similar window name, the SHOW WINDOW command cycles through the windows rather than activating the window specified in the SHOW WINDOW command.

RESOLUTION
Open the databases with completely different alias names.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro 3.0 for Windows.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
1. Open three tables in separate work areas with these aliases:

ab  ab_ab   ab_cd. 2. Issue a BROWSE command for each table. 3. Insert the WONTOP function on the left side of the debug window.

4. Issue the following command in the Command window:

SHOW WINDOW ab 5. Issue the same command several times, and note the cycling through the different windows. However, notice that the WONTOP function returns the correct window names.
