SYMPTOMS
The following program error is encountered with the APPEND FROM TYPE CSV command:

File does not exist



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. For more information about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

194295 HOWTO: Tell That Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs Are Installed



MORE INFORMATION
Visual FoxPro was not looking for the CSV file name extension when it was not provided. For instance, if using an Excel file, issuing the command below would not produce a program error when the file is named Temp.xls: APPEND FROM temp TYPE XLS

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
  Copy the following code to a new program file: CREATE CURSOR x (f1 c(1)) INSERT INTO x VALUES ('x') COPY TO Temp TYPE CSV APPEND FROM Temp TYPE CSV  Save the program and then run it. The program error should be received on the APPEND FROM line.

NOTE: If there is a file named Temp.txt in the same location as Temp.csv, Visual FoxPro will append in Temp.csv without the program error. To repeat, if Temp.txt exists, then Temp.csv rather than Temp.txt, will append in without error. If you delete Temp.txt, the error will occur.
