{| = BUG: Error If SET TALK TO Is Set to a Small Window =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q125790

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS
When SET TALK TO is set to a window that lacks the vertical width to display the line of text, and an operation is performed that returns status about the operation, FoxPro terminates returning to MS-DOS abnormally.

In addition, sometimes the following error message occurs:

Transgressed node found during compaction After you clear the error message, another error message appears: Abnormal program termination : Memory protection fault

RESOLUTION
Define a window large enough to contain the status message returned by any operation in the SET TALK window.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
Type the following code in the command window:

DEFINE WINDOW idxtalk FROM 8,10 TO 9,70 ACTIVATE WINDOW idxtalk SET TALK WINDOW idxtalk USE tutorial\salesman INDEX ON salesman TAG salesman When this code is run, the window is not big enough to display the message. The message "Transgressed node found during compaction" may appear, followed by "Abnormal program termination : memory protection fault." Then FoxPro terminates.
