Error message when using GetDir

[GriffMG]

I've only just noticed this, it might have been happening for a while - just today!

When I use GetDir from my applications I sometimes get this message:

There is no disk. Please insert a disk into drive \Drive\Harddisk2\DR4

If you pass no arguments to GetDir() then it starts by looking in the current default directory and it might be that you're losing your connection to \Drive\Harddisk2\DR4.

Having said that, I've just changed my current directory to my CD drive and checked that GetDir() starts off by displaying the contents of the CD. Then I removed the CD and tried GetDir() again - expecting to see your error message. Instead there was a bit of a delay and the GetDir dialog eventually appeared showing the contents of drive c:\ instead. I wasn't expecting that at all. If anyone had asked I'd have thought that Fox would have defaulted to Home() rather than c:\.

Sorry - that's of no help to you at all.

Hi Geoff,

Yes, I'm pretty sure my system USED to do that - throw up a 'default' folder that actually existed, rather than what seems to be a low level error.

I'd never seen a reference like \Drive\Harddisk2\DR4 before either.

I guess I must have installed/uninstalled something in the OS that is causing this.

Even spookier, it's stopped doing it now!

Overheating processor?

No signs (other signs) of virus activity, AVG all up to date as well, working behind h/w and s/w firewalls.

Was that what the error message quoted? I'd just assumed it was a typo in your posting (sorry) for something like \\Drive...

No, that was the actual message, in an 'always on top' windows (not VFP) message box!

Not doing it now though.
