The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.0

SUMMARY
The database structure in Microsoft FoxPro version 2.5 for Windows has been changed to allow the use of a general field. Because of this change, using version 2.5 database files that contain general fields in FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS is not recommended.

MORE INFORMATION
FoxPro 2.0 can use databases created with FoxPro 2.5 that have general fields. The database structure for a general field will show as (UNKNOWN) in FoxPro 2.0. However, when the structure of the database is modified or when the general fields are referenced from within FoxPro 2.0, an &quot;Internal Consistency Error&quot; could occur.
