READ CYCLE problems 1

[nobilman]

I am trying to run a FP 2.6 program in VFP 9.0, but I am having a real hard time with the FP 2.6 Read Cycle command. Every time the VFP 9.0 comes upon a READ CYCLE command, the program freezes up.
I've looked up the VFP 9.0 help on this subject, and the closest I have come to an answer is that there is a bug in VFP 9.0 concerning this problem and it is recognized by Microsoft. However, the solutions they offer have not been helpful.
Is there a way around this, or do I have to rewrite all of my FP 2.6 in VFP 9.0?

Nobilman,

If you plan on running the program on a routine basis, you really need to get rid of READ CYCLE. It is one of the few commands that no longer work in VFP.

You should be able to eliminate READ CYCLE without rewriting the entire app.

Mike
