= SYMPTOMS =

If Microsoft Word is closed during an Insert Object operation into a FoxPro general field, the Edit menu does not reset immediately to the correct set of options.

= RESOLUTION =

Wait several minutes. The Edit menu will eventually reset itself so that only the Insert Object menu option is enabled.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Browse a FoxPro database with a general field. Double-click the general field.
 * 2) Choose Insert Object from the Edit menu. Select a Word document.
 * 3) Close Word.
 * 4) Observe the FoxPro Edit menu selections. The Cut, Copy, Clear, Edit Microsoft Word Document Object, and Convert to Static options are enabled. The only option which should be enabled is the Insert Object menu.
