ID: Q157722

2.60a MACINTOSH

kbprb The information in this article applies to:
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS
When trying to run an executable with a SET LIBRARY TO Fpsql.mlb command, the executable quits on that command or returns the following error message:

File 'FPSQL' does not exist.

RESOLUTION
Place the file Reserved.mlb in the extensions folder.

STATUS
Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
This problem has been detected under system 7.5.3. It may or may not exist under other operating systems.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
1. Open a new project on a Power Mac and create a program with the

following code:

WAIT WINDOW "FPSQL not set yet" SET LIBRARY TO FPSQL.MLB WAIT WINDOW "FPSQL is now set" 2. Create a 68K executable, and run the Setup Wizard to create disks. 3. On a separate disk, create two folders: one called Control Panels and

the other called Extensions. 4. Copy the ODBC Setup file in the Control Panels folder of the PowerMac to  the Control Panels folder on the disk. 5. Copy the following files from the Extensions folder of the PowerMac to  the Extensions folder on the disk.

ODBC Driver Manager ODBC Configuration Manager Fpsql.mlb Reserved.mlb 6. Install the disks on a clean system on a Quadra or a Performa. Restart the Macintosh as directed. 7. Copy the ODBC Setup file to the Control Panels folder of the Quadra or  Performa. 8. Copy the all the files except Reserved.mlb listed in step 5 to the Extensions folder of the Quadra or Performa. 9. Restart the Quadra or Performa, and run the executable. One of the two problems mentioned above occurs.

Now place the Reserved.mlb in the Extensions folder and restart. The executable now runs without error.
