PRB: CONFIG.FP or CONFIG.FPW Causes "Syntax Error" at StartupID: Q103465 The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you are starting FoxPro with an associated CONFIG.FP or CONFIG.FPW file, the following error messages may occur: Syntax error <Cancel> <Suspend> <Ignore> Variable <variable name> not found <Cancel> <Suspend> <Ignore> CAUSEFoxPro is executing the CONFIG.FP or CONFIG.FPW file as a program file. This behavior most often occurs because of an incorrectly specified startup switch. For example, the following command issued at the MS-DOS prompt will cause a syntax error: foxpro.exe -c <drive>:\<directory>\<configuration file> NOTE: This command will cause an error as long as the specified configuration file exists and has entries in it. RESOLUTIONTo correct this problem, do the following: 1. Remove the space between the "-c" switch and the path and filename for the configuration file. 2. Look for the SET FOXPROWCFG line in the Autoexec.bat file to ensure that the startup switches are correct. MORE INFORMATIONSteps to Reproduce Problem1. Start FoxPro. 2. In the Command window, type: MODIFY COMMAND SYS(2019) 3. Change the first line so it reads: COMMAND = WAIT WINDOW 4. Quit FoxPro. 5. Start FoxPro with the syntax noted above in the "Cause" section, making sure that the full path and filename point to the CONFIG.FPW or CONFIG.FPW file used by FoxPro.
