BUG: FB+Migrate Hangs Computer When Extracting PICT ResourceID: Q109604 The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you are migrating an existing FoxBASE+ for the Macintosh application using the FB+Migrate Application, the computer may hang when you are trying to extract a nonexistent PICT resource from a resource file. If a PICTURE clause on any GET field contains the characters \P, the Migration application will assume there is a PICT resource associated with the GET field and will prompt the user to locate the PICT resource. If a resource is selected, the program will then try to extract the nonexistent picture and may hang. RESOLUTIONEither choose No when you are asked if you want to move the PICTs automatically or modify the PICTURE clause that contains the characters \P. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FoxPro version 2.5b for Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available. MORE INFORMATIONSteps to Reproduce Behavior1. Create a screen in FoxBASE+/Mac that has a popup menu with the following prompts: Test1 HMO\PPO 2. Save the screen. 3. Run the FB+Migration application in FoxPro. 4. Choose Convert Files and select the screen file you created in step 1. 5. When you are asked if PICTs should be moved automatically, choose Yes and select a resource file. The machine may hang at this point.
