Menu Error (Memo file Missing / Invalid)

While creating Menu in Fox 2. through following command

Crea menu temp

I am able to design the menu. But when i say save to the menu or generate
the menu it gives me following errors

'Memo file missing / Invalid '

& sometimes it gives me the error 'file not open'

What am i doing wrong.

Thanks

Are you using FoxPro 2.0? Have you tried disabling any anti virus software?
How about recompiling the Genmenu.prg into Genmenu.fxp?


I hope this helps.

Try

USE TheMenuFile.MNX Excl
PACK
USE

If you get an error after the PACK command then your menu memo
file is corrupt. Its got a memo pointer error.
In that case you could try to design a new menu by copying the same
features from the old one and then deleting the old one and renaming
the new one.

Using FPD 2.0 I saw this error with screens and especially reports on fast
computers. When trying save report I usually receive error 'Memo file
missing / Invalid '. In such a case I discard changes to my report, go to
the directory with my project, locate temporary file (something like
12345678.tmp) with the latest modification time (if you didn't have any
before, there will be only one) and rename it to Rep_name.frt. Then you can
open this report and it will be as if you saved it normally. For some
reasons FoxPro forgets to rename it. I beleive there is something similar
with menus.

Dear Leonid,

It some how worked by deleting all the *.tmp files as well as filename.frt &
filename.frx files.

but, still i have a little problem.

My menu works only when i select the command second time.
On the first select that is pressing alt+m (shortcut) for pad select it does
not do anything . But on second selcect alt+m (shortcut) it gives me menu bar.

Sorry, it was many years ago I worked in FPD, and I rarely used menus in
FPD, so I don't remember this problem

If that is the case it may simply be a corrupt memo pointer counter
and possibly could be repaired like other DBF/FPT files.
