The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS
A &quot;Structural CDX File Not Found&quot; error message occurs when a file is opened after its structure has been modified. The error occurs even if no CDX is defined.

CAUSE
The error is generated only when SAFETY is ON.

WORKAROUND
CAUTION: Be sure to look up the behavior of the SET SAFETY command before using this workaround. When SET SAFETY OFF has been issued, FoxPro does NOT warn you before overwriting a file.

Issue the &quot;SET SAFETY OFF&quot; (without the quotation marks) to open the file. If you normally have the SET SAFETY command set to ON, be sure to issue &quot;SET SAFETY ON&quot; again immediately after opening the file.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in releases of Microsoft FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS dated prior to March 25, 1992. This problem was corrected in the release dated March 25, 1992 of Microsoft FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS.
