SYMPTOMS
Double-clicking a view file (.vue) in Finder starts FoxPro but does not restore the environment saved by that view file.

NOTE: If the Distribution Kit has been installed, when FoxPro starts it displays a dialog box asking for a program file to DO. If you choose Cancel, FoxPro then quits.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: In FoxBASE+ for Macintosh, double-clicking a view file in the Finder starts FoxBASE+ and then restores the environment settings stored in the view file.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Start FoxPro.
 * 2) From the Window menu, choose View.
 * 3) Choose Open. Select the Customer.dbf database from the TUTORIAL subfolder in the main FoxPro folder. Choose the Open button.
 * 4) From the File menu, choose Save As.
 * 5) In the Save View As text box, type "TEST" (without the quotation marks). Choose Save.
