{| = PRB: MODIFY MEMO Behaves As If the NOWAIT Clause Has Been Used =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q110528

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS
When you are using the MODIFY MEMO command with multiple memo fields, the program behaves as if the NOWAIT clause has been used. For example, if you issue the following command in the Command window

MODIFY MEMO  the memo windows will appear but the program will continue to execute.

RESOLUTION
To avoid this problem, use two MODIFY MEMO commands with the following syntax:

MODIFY MEMO NOWAIT MODIFY MEMO These commands will display memo field1, then memo field2, and then the cursor will be placed in memo field2. Additional reference words: FoxMac FoxDos FoxWin 2.50 2.50a 2.50b KBCategory: kbprg kbprb KBSubcategory: FxprgGeneral
