None have been reported here.

Elsewhere, I've seen mention of a few video issues (usually worked around by
making the control 1 pixel taller). I wouldn't expect those to be tied to
any particular version, but I also wouldn't expect a fix anywhere other than
in VFP9. <s>

Either Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit.

Hi all,

i'm using VFP 9.0 SP2 and also having trouble!
I can't find the problem! I crash often with a C0000005 error.
Everytime the LOG says Error on Line 0 in .....
i think it a kind of timing problem or internal pointer problem (to existing
objects)
probably something like orphaning these objects???

This program works fine under XP!

suggestion are welcome!

thanks all
Wim

Hi Wim

It may be a corrupt table, memo fields or Index
- if these were copied to the new system something may have got messed up
in the transfer.
I you have a virus scanner on your new system, check that you are not
scanning the vfp data files each time they are accessed
Turn off write behind caching on the drive with your data files. (I'm not
sure how you do this in vista - you may need to do some research)

Have a read of KB264867

Best of luck
John

Also remember that VFP9 SP2 is not released yet, but is a CTP (Community
Technology Preview) which is just for people to get an early look at
what is coming, and it is NOT stable or appropriate for production use.

Thanks all

Data writing/retreiving isn't a problem. Writing log-info also no problem.

The problem looks like the use of the OCX addons.
The problem appear mostly when activating or de-activating these kind of
Objects.
when setting a wait state before and after there are less crashes!

I'm for example activating msWinSock , and a CodeStone library for
send.receive email.
