SYMPTOMS
Calling a function in the Foxtools library generates an Error 1 "Program does not exist."



CAUSE
Some FoxTools functions are not compiled with the complete name. For example, FxNewFolder needs to be called as FxNewFolde. To verify how a function should be called, load the FoxTools library and then look at the output of DISPLAY STATUS.



RESOLUTION
Drop appropriate letters from the functions name.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
Load the appropriate version of Foxtools for the Macintosh. Foxtools.cfm is for PowerPCs only and Foxtools.slm is for both PPC and 68K Macintoshes.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
  Enter the following commands in the Command window: SET LIBRARY TO HOME+'FoxTools.slm' ? FxNewFolder('macintosh hd:test') && Note Error ? FxNewFolde('macintosh hd:test')
