It's been over a year since I moved from So. Cal to South Dakota, but it has
been a good move for me and my family (except for the morning it was -33 BEFORE
windchill, but it was only one day). I have been writing a lot of code in
that 'other' Microsfot environment and haven't done much with VFP lately - and
have come upon a really bizzare issue.+
I have a free table (request) that is open in the current datasession. I try
to make it the currently selected work area with a SELECT REQUEST statement...
but the work area does not change! There is no variable called request, no
error message... the work area just doesn't change and the program continues.
I have a breakpoint on the line following the select statement and can see that
it is not selected. If I do a Set Next Statement back to the select line above
and step through it then the work area DOES change! The table is referenced
through a unc path, but why would that make a difference?
It gets more confusing... Take a look at this code:
xx = 1
DO WHILE xx < 100
select request
IF UPPER(RIGHT(DBF(),11)) == "REQUEST.DBF"
SET STEP ON
xx = 1000
endif
xx = xx + 1
ENDDO
The Set Step command fires and brings up the debugging window, but the two
values in the IF statement are not the same. Upper(right(dbf(),11)) equals
something totally different, not even close to "REQUEST.DBF". So how did it
hit the SET STEP ON statement???
Any clues?
Thanks in advance,
