BUG: Visual FoxPro Loses Graphing When Office 97 Removed (163246)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0b
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q163246 SYMPTOMS
The following symptoms may occur:
CAUSE
The Office 97 setup process replaces Graph5 with Graph8 as the association
for .gra extension files.
Removing Office 97 entirely leaves the registry without any reference to a
graphing tool associated with the .gra extension. Visual FoxPro cannot find
a graphing tool to use in graphing the results of a query.
Using the "Add/Remove software" functions of Windows 95 or WindowsNT to
remove only Graph8 does not remove those files nor the registry entries.
Removing Office 97 removes all references to the graph files previously
installed.
RESOLUTION
One alternative for resolving this is to re-install Office 97. If the
system should not have Office 97, then remove all portions of Office 97
except Graph and Graph Help.
Another alternative is to install or reinstall Office 95. That will
reinstall and re-register MS Graph5.
Re-installing MS Graph5 from the Visual FoxPro distribution disk does not
solve the problem.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
