 * width="100%"|

ID: Q112611

The information in this article applies to:


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

SYMPTOMS
The SAVE SCREEN command stores a screen image in a .MEM file. If you execute this command in FoxPro for MS-DOS and issue the RESTORE FROM command in FoxPro for Windows, the image does not display properly.

CAUSE
FoxPro has no way of translating the MS-DOS character-based screen image into a bitmap image for Windows.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
In FoxPro for MS-DOS, type the following commands in the Command window:

@10,10 say "HELLO" SAVE SCREEN TO scrn SAVE ALL LIKE scrn TO scrnfile Quit FoxPro for MS-DOS and load FoxPro for Windows. Type the following commands in the Command window: RESTORE FROM scrnfile RESTORE screen FROM scrn The image appears as a small colored rectangle in the upper-left corner of the screen. Screen image files must be created and saved in the same FoxPro platform as the platform on which they will be displayed.
