 * width="100%"|

ID: Q93615

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.50a

SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, the following command does not change the working directory:

RUN /0 CD \

CAUSE
The FoxPro for Windows MS-DOS window is not an active window. When you issue a &quot;RUN &quot; or &quot;RUN &quot; command, FoxPro invokes FOXRUN.PIF to create a new MS-DOS virtual machine. Any changes to the MS-DOS environment affect only the MS-DOS virtual machine.

RESOLUTION
Use the SET DEFAULT TO command to change the directory.
