VFP9 browse exit problems.

I use browse frequently in development. VFP9 (SP2) has an annoying
habit of crashing (C00005) when I hit the esc button or ctrl-F4 to
close the browse screen. Does not happen so much in exe. Anybody got a
solution to this?

This was a well-known issue in one of the SP2 CTP releases.

Recommend you uninstall VFP9 completely, install from scratch, and reinstall
the *released* version of SP2. Sounds like you have some pre-beta bits stuck
in the ooze.

I know this bug, I have encounterd it sometimes also in VFP9 SP1.

It should be one of those addressed by SP2.

It is referred to many times in different ways:

Yeah, I did uninstall and reintalled SP2 from scratch but did not help.
Seems to me the "released" SP2 is the same as beta.

Funny, I have a clean SP2 install on my laptop with Win2K and it does
not do it. One of these days somebody will find whats bugging it.

You cannot uninstall SP2. You have to completely uninstall FoxPro ....
install the base FoxPro (not SP1) ... then install SP2 on top of the base
FoxPro.

What Cathy said. <g>

It's funny but with everything *else* wrong with SP2, the biggest problem
has been getting developers to understand that you CANNOT install it onto a
system that's had a previous beta or CTP.

Uninstall *FOXPRO* and start from scratch.

Cathy,

Yes I did completely uninstall VFP9 and then reinstalled VFP9 + SP2. Still
no go. But my Win2K laptop has no such problems. Maybe its the combo of XP
+ VFP9. Got to try out a Vista PC and see.

You have to admit, that doesn't sound likely. A zillion of us would have
noticed that by now.

I'm just grasping at straws here, but when you uninstalled, did you check
that all the beta/SP1 runtimes were gone? Perhaps for some reason you need
to remove them by hand.
