2.60 UNIX kbprg kbprb

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for UNIX, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to open a table with the USE command or with the Open File dialog box, the following error occurs:

File does not exist

CAUSE
The filename contains uppercase characters. The UNIX operating system is case-sensitive even if FoxPro is not. However, FoxPro is looking for the filename in all lowercase characters.

RESOLUTION
Rename the file in all lowercase letters. Use the UNIX L command (the equivalent of the MS-DOS DIR command) to verify that the filename contains only lowercase characters.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
