BUG: MODIFY COMMAND GETFILE() Creates a New File (162554)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh 3.0b
- Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh 2.6a
This article was previously published under Q162554 SYMPTOMS
Using the GETFILE() function with the MODIFY COMMAND command to open a file
without an extension creates a new file with a .prg extension. The original
file is not opened.
RESOLUTION
In FoxPro 2.6a for the Macintosh, use the MODIFY FILE command instead of
the MODIFY COMMAND command with the GETFILE() function.
However, in Visual FoxPro 3.0b for the Macintosh, using GETFILE() with the
MODIFY FILE has the same problem as GETFILE() with MODIFY COMMAND. The
command opens a new file with a .txt extension.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
