ID: Q88293

2.00 2.50 2.50a | 2.50 2.50a

MS-DOS         | WINDOWS kbprg kbprb The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS
When the user switches between two data-entry screens, a &quot;Too many reads in effect&quot; error occurs.

CAUSE
The maximum read level in FoxPro is five. Switching between screens causes the system to exceed this limit.

RESOLUTION
Code the application to issue a CLEAR READ command to clear the read when the user switches to another data-entry screen rather than reissuing the read for the first data-entry screen.
