PRB: Error "Library File Foxtools.fll is Invalid"

Article ID: 135114

Article Last Modified on 2/15/2000



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0 Standard Edition



This article was previously published under Q135114

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to rebuild a converted FoxPro version 2.X project, you receive this error message:

   Library file Foxtools.fll is invalid.
                

CAUSE

The project is looking at the Foxtools.fll file that shipped with FoxPro version 2.X. It should be looking at the Foxtools.fll file that shipped with Visual FoxPro version 3.0.

RESOLUTION

  1. Remove Foxtools.fll from the Visual FoxPro project, and add the 32-bit Foxtools.fll found in your VFP subdirectory.
  2. If your path to Foxtools.fll in the setup code of your 2.X screen was coded with a specific path statement (for example, using SET LIBRARY TO C:\Fpw26\Foxtools.fll instead of SYS(2004)+"Foxtools.fll"), look under the Load Event Method of the Form.


With the editing window open for the Load Event, open the Object window in the title bar. You will see a systematically assigned id that looks something like _R2R0H0G9K. Open it up. You will discover your former Setup Code. Here you can manually edit the path to Foxtools.fll.


STATUS

This behavior is by design.
