SYMPTOMS
After suspending an error, using the CLEAR ALL command produces this error:

Cannot clear the object in use.

Using the CANCEL command after this error causes Visual FoxPro to close (crash). This happens only after using a version 2.x READ WHEN command.



WORKAROUND
There is no problem if you reverse the command sequence: CANCEL * Click OK to clear the "Cannot clear object in use" error message. CLEAR ALL



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 Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Windows.



Code to Reproduce Problem
DEFINE WINDOW one FROM 1,1 TO 20,20 FLOAT ACTIVATE WINDOW one @ 1,1 GET x DEFA 1 NAME bob READ WHEN test

PROC test jhjhj           && Random characters to generate error


 * When the error dialog appears, select SUSPEND
 * In the Command window, enter the following lines of code:

CLEAR ALL * Click OK to clear the "Cannot clear object in use" error message. CANCEL
