This article was previously published under Q136944



SYMPTOMS
When a form or an object's Activate event has code that generates a syntax error, it is not possible to click Ignore to skip the offending code without reactivating the Activate event.



CAUSE
When an error is generated, the Error message window is displayed. When the error window is closed, control returns to the object. When the focus returns to the object, the Activate event fires, and the error appears again.



RESOLUTION
Click Cancel to cancel the execution, and return to the form object.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
FoxPro does not control the firing of the Activate event. It is automatically fired by the operating system.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a new form.
 * 2) In the Activate event handler, type &x.
 * 3) Save and run the form. The error "Unrecognized Command Verb" appears.
 * 4) Click Ignore. The error appears again, until you click Cancel.
