{| = BUG: Fourth RGB COLOR Pair in @ ... SAY Gives Syntax Error =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q118559

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6

SYMPTOMS
When issuing an @ ... SAY with a COLOR clause containing RGB function color specifications, you get a "Syntax Error" message.

CAUSE
This error message is caused by the RGB function color in the fourth color pair slot.

RESOLUTION
If you remove the RGB function in the fourth slot, you will not get an error [even if you have RGB functions in slots 5-10]. In addition, you will not receive an error if you are using the one character color specification, for example R/W, in all of the slots instead of the RGB color specification.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
To reproduce this problem, create a program containing the following code:

@ 4.813,3.250 SAY "Float_:" ; SIZE 1.000,11.000 ; FONT "MS Sans Serif", 8 ; STYLE "T" ; COLOR RGB(,,,255,255,255),RGB(,,,255,0,255),; RGB(0,0,0,,,),RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255) Additional reference words: FoxWin 2.50 2.50a 2.50b 2.60 buglist2.50 buglist2.50a buglist2.50b buglist2.60 errmsg err msg KBCategory: kbprg kberrmsg kbbuglist KBSubcategory: FxprgGeneral
