2.60a 3.00 WINDOWS kbtool kbprb

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS
A dBASE IV report that contains a report title and Summary bands will have the header and Title bands, as well as the footer and Summary bands reversed when transported to FoxPro by the FoxPro 2.x TRANSPRT.PRG or Visual FoxPro CONVERT.APP program.

CAUSE
This is caused by the way dBASE reports are arranged. The default positions of title/Summary bands in dBASE are between the header/footer bands. When transported, they remain between the header/ footer bands in FoxPro. They are then interpreted as the header and footer of the FoxPro report (rather than the desired title/summary).

WORKAROUND
In dBASE there is a menu option to change the layout of the report (page header in Title band = NO). Once this change is made, the report should transport properly

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
