FoxPro 2.6 Crash !

[peruchoa]

FoxPro 2.6 is crashing due a problem with that version and the new machines running above 266 Mhz.<br><br>So I downloaded the patch to upgrade to 2.6a and then patch the problem with the faster machines.<br><br>Now, the path to upgrade to 2.6a display a message that the file foxw2600.esl is not a baseline file and tells that I must to install the program from the disks.<br><br>Ok, I did, but the message is still appearing... :-(<br><br>If any have been dealing with that trouble I will apreciate you help.<br><br>Thanks.<br>

The FoxPro crash can be <b>ignored!!!</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;I am running a 400MHz machine and just clicked on the ignore message and FoxPro ran just fine.<br><br>I know this is not an answer to your question but if you can live with clicking IGNORE, then why go through the upgrade hassle.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are a lot of files that have to be upgraded to 2.6a, and if you miss any one of them you are screwed.

I am dealing with a miscellaneous collection of FoxPro 2.5, 2.6, and 2.6a.<br><br>It is much easier to hit ignore.&nbsp;&nbsp;The only problem that I have is that I occassionally have to clear the memory, depending on what I am doing.

Thanks for the responses MikeWood and Virgo.<br><br>I decide to install Visual FoxPro 5.0 and I'm very excited about that product.<br><br>Somebody in a newsgroup told me that I had to rewrite all code from the beginning and this is not true.<br><br>VFP converts all, the language is identical with much more commands and the interface is excellent!<br><br>It worth while to make the move.<br><br>Peruchoa<br><br><br>

If you find problems between your 'converted' VFP 5 and other programs that interacted with your FP 2.6, check the file headers. DBF file headers in VFP and 2.6 ARE DIFFERENT. We had to revert back to 2.6 because a Delphi program that wrote to the 'converted' tables changed the header and VFP could not read the file.<br>Mack
