Can anyone explain this error better than the vfp documentation?

Thanks in advance for any help. Here is the text from the help file. Can
anyone explain this in more detail? To the best of my knowledge I am not
using a PROMPT clause. What is a PROMPT field or clause? What does this
error tell me? Thanks.


From Visual FoxPro Reference (V. 7)

"field" phrase is not found (Error 1130)
The field specified in PROMPT field was not found.

a.. You are using a command with a PROMPT clause that references an
unknown field.
For more information, type PROMPT in the Index tab of the Help file and
select the command you are using.

Hi Jeff,

You haven't said exactly what your program is doing when you get the error.
Here's some threads about this problem:

I think this reply still applies

As for the Docs text - it might be a little outdated, since Error 1130 is quite
old, was used in Fox2.x too, and maybe even earlier.

Stefan (and everyone else)

You were for the most part correct.

I had a combo box on the form whose RowSource table was a table that was
opened in application number 1 but not in application number 2.

As soon as I opened the table in application number 2 the problem went away.

It would have helped to have a more meaningful error message.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Jeff

You can use the "Send feedback on this topic to Microsoft"
link at the bottom of each topic to send suggestions.
Good occasion right now, because the Vfp9 Help is currently
under construction and renovation anyway
