Hi,
To stop the program and to inspect some variables in the Debugger I usually
put a Set Step On into the program code.

After finish checking and clicking the Cancel button VFP keeps crashing.

This behaviour follows me since the debugger has been introduced over a
decade ago and through all VFP versions.

Due to this behaviour I trained myself to close the Debugger with "Debug -
Fix". Recently I forgott it and clicked the Cancel botton and VFP (now
version 8) again crashed.

I wonder how this Bug (?) could make its way so far - or did I do something
wrong?

Thanks
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

Well, I don't have this problem, and I haven't seen many complaints about
it, so there must be something unique about your setup or programs that is
causing this. Have you looked at your system Event Viewer to see what's
there after a crash?

Hi Cindy,
thank you very much for your comment.

Hhmm... you are right, just now I tried to repeat the mentioned error and it
did not happen again.
Anyhow, I checked the Event Logs and I found the following entry:

The description for Event ID ( 1000 ) in Source ( Microsoft Visual FoxPro )
cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.
You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description;
see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the
event: vfp8.exe, 8.0.0.3117, ntdll.dll, 5.1.2600.1217, 00007ec4.

Hi Wolfgang:

One of the first items I recommend to anyone who see a memory error in the
Debugger is to delete or rename the Foxuser.dbf and Foxuser.fpt files. The
Debugger stores a lot of settings in the Foxuser files, such a window
positions. If those files become corrupt, you can see an error like you
received.

I hope this helps.
