PRB: Errors Caused by Setting _GENMENU to an Invalid Value (138375)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q138375 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to generate a menu, under certain circumstances, the
Generate option of the Menu menu is disabled, or one of the following
errors may occur:
Function argument value, type, or count is invalid.
Function argument value, type, or count is invalid. Line Number: 2202
CAUSE
One of these problems will occur if the system memory variable _GENMENU is
initialized to an invalid value or the Genmenu.prg file is corrupt.
RESOLUTION
You may be able to fix this problem by setting _GENMENU to a valid value
using the following syntax in the Command window:
_GENMENU = SYS(2004) + "GENMENU.PRG"
Or you may be able to fix it by adding this line of code as the first line
of Vfpstart.prg, which is located in the main Visual FoxPro directory and
is the program that starts by default when you launch Visual FoxPro.
If the Genmenu.prg file is corrupt, you may need to replace it by
reinstalling Visual FoxPro or by expanding it from the installation media.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
