 * width="100%"|

ID: Q104049

2.50x 2.6 | 2.00 2.50x 2.60

WINDOWS   | MS-DOS kb3rdparty kbfixlist kbbuglist The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5x, 2.6
 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5x, 2.6

SYMPTOMS
After you import a Lotus (type WK1) or Symphony (type WR1) worksheet into FoxPro, all field lengths are 9 instead of the corresponding column widths from the worksheet, which causes the data from the worksheet to be truncated.

CAUSE
The IMPORT FROM TYPE WK1 or IMPORT FROM TYPE WR1 command in FoxPro creates a table structure with field widths of 9.

RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, create the database structure in FoxPro and use the APPEND FROM TYPE WK1 or APPEND FROM TYPE WR1 command.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in FoxPro version 2.6a for Windows and FoxPro version 2.6a for MS-DOS.
