c0000005 when previewing two reports at the same time.

If, in VFP8 SP1 (Or VFP7), create two simple reports. Open both reports in
report designer at same time. Preview one. While it is in preview mode,
right click the other report. C0000005, Menu manager internal consistency
occurs. I have duplicated this on three different machines, it is
surprisingly easy to duplicate. VFP7 also does this, and if I get a chance
I'll try it with 6 and 9.

How very interesting. I walked around to 3 different workstations and all of
them did it. What OS are you using? We are all using Win2000. Hardware is
either IBM or Dell.

Win2K, Dell hardware.

This is going to take a lot more precision about exactly what's in the
reports and your environment.

FWIW, I had a lot of problems with c5 when previewing reports in VFP7,
especially if there were unsaved changes to the report.

VFP7 and VFP8 are both flaky when it comes to previewing reports, this is
nothing new although VFP8 is not as bad as VFP6/7 were when it comes to
previewing reports. I'm hoping VFP9 is even more stable but haven't worked
with it very much.

It doesn't seem to matter which printer driver I use. I've done this with an
HP LJ 4, III, and II, 8100, and even an Epson FX80. I'm going to try it on
an XP machine in a bit and see if it makes any difference. I also tried it
on an XP machine, no difference. I'm not actually trying to preview two
reports at the same time, I realize my description may be misleading. It's
the right
click on the second report form while another report form is in preview.
It's not the previewing of the second report that crashes, it's trying to
get the context menu to appear on the second report.

AND - to make things more intereseting - Before you click on the second
report window, click somewhere else, such as the command window. Then, when
you click on the second report, it does not crash.

Method A - crashes.
Open/create a table/cursor (so that you have a data source for the reports.
Create/Modify a report so that it is open in the report designer. I use a
simple basic report with one field on it.
Modify a second report so that you have two reports open in the report
designer at the same time.
Right click the first report, preview.
Do not click anywhere else! Right click on second report - crash

Method B - crashes.
Open/create a table/cursor (so that you have a data source for the reports.
Create/Modify a report so that it is open in the report designer. I use a
simple basic report with one field on it.
Modify a second report so that you have two reports open in the report
designer at the same time.
Right click the first report, preview.
Right click in command window, notice context menu appears.
Now right click on second report. No crash, context menu appears instead.

I'm thinking that this should be classified as a bug. I can easily duplicate
this on three machines.

I have had very few problems of that nature with VFP8, and I can't remember
any so far with 9.

Anyway, if it crashes when you do that, listen to what the doctor said when
the guy told him, "Doc, it hurts when I do this."

He replied, "Don't do that!"

It is handy knowing how to do this without crashing. But, it's also like
taking your car to a mechanic and telling him that your engine smokes when
you start it. "Well, don't start the engine!" :-) :-P

Can you provide code to repro this?

I'll be glad to advance it for you, but without a repro scenario that works
every time there isn't anything to advance.

Start with CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements.
Then CREATE REPORT

Etc.

Often the act of distilling these crashes to a repro scenario helps you
isolate exactly what's causing the problem in the first place.

I can give you code that reproduces it 100% of the time for me on 3
different machines running XP and Win2000. Apparently not everyone can get
this to happen. I'm waiting to hear from any kind souls that tries my steps
and sees the crash, or doesn't.

The reason I ask for repro code is because I'm not convinced you've told us
every last gory detail, which is why I couldn't repro it.

Developing the repro scenario may actually help you find out what the one
little detail is that's causing this.

This does it for me in VFP7...

From the command window...

CREATE TABLE MyTable (myField C(10))
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE MyField WITH "MyText"
CREATE REPORT MyReport1
* Menu Report/Quick Report/OK
CREATE REPORT MyReport2
* Menu Report/Quick Report/OK
* Right-click on MyReport1 designer window and select Preview
* Leave preview window untouched then right-click on MyReport2 designer
window

* Bang

Regards,

Brian

Cool! Thanks!

This does NOT crash VFP8 or 9 for me:

Close Databases all
Set Safety Off
Create Table MyTable (myField C(10))
Append Blank
Replace myField With "MyText"
Create Report MyReport1 From MyTable Form
Modify Report MyReport1 Nowait
Create Report myreport2 From MyTable Form
Modify Report myreport2 Nowait
Move Window "Report Designer - myreport2.frx" To 30,30
Activate Window "Report Designer - myreport1.frx"
* Activate Preview
Keyboard '{ALT+V}'
Keyboard 'V'
* Right click the other report
Mouse click at 5,5 window "Report Designer - myreport2.frx" RIGHT

Brian has described essentially what I do in VFP8. There are no gory
details, no "more to the story", no special environment, etc. it's a quick
and simple process. Open two reports, preview one, right click on the other.
Crash.

Execute these 4 lines of code. After they execute, you have two reports in
the report designer. It doesn't even matter if you put fields on the report
or not. Right click the first one, preview. Right click the second. Crash.

CREATE CURSOR csrzoot (zz c(10))
INSERT INTO csrZOOT (ZZ) VALUES ('Hello world')
CREATE REPORT zoot1a nowait
CREATE REPORT zoot2a nowait

I am very interested in how many others can reproduce this, or not? And I'm
also very curious as to what is different about your environment that you
can't duplicate this? Is there an environment setting that we have set
differently? I just walked down the aisle and had some more people try this.
We are getting a 100% crash rate here, we can't do this without it crashing.

Ook,

I get the same C05 behavior in 8SP1 on XP. I sent the error report have you
been doing that? The guys at Microsoft can use that info to help track these
sorts of problems down better.

I believe the only crashes of real interest are the ones in VFP9. There are
not going to be any SP's for earlier version I bet.

Doesn't crash for me either in VFP6, or in VFP9.
