{| = PRB: Can't Edit OLE Objects on Screen with Active READ =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q101294

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS
You cannot edit an OLE object (stored in a general field) in a screen with an active READ.

CAUSE
A MODIFY GENERAL command was never issued for the OLE object.

RESOLUTION
Use one of the following methods to resolve this problem:

Method 1
1. Use the Field tool to create a general field on the screen.

2. Select the WHEN clause and enter the command MODIFY GENERAL

in the code snippet area as a PROCEDURE. 3. Save the screen changes and regenerate the screen and/or application.

Method 2
1. Use the Picture tool to put a picture of the general field on the

screen. 2. Add an invisible button that covers the entire picture. The invisible button should have a WHEN clause PROCEDURE that says MODIFY GENERAL. 3. Save the screen changes and regenerate the screen and/or application. Either of the above methods will allow you to edit bitmaps within the screen when the application is running.
