PRB: Where to Put EXTERNAL ARRAY in a Form (126955)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q126955 SYMPTOMS
When you build a PROJECT or APPLICATION in Visual FoxPro, you may get a
warning box that says 'Unable to find unknown <array name>.'
CAUSE
One cause of this error is an array being used in a screen or other
program.
RESOLUTION
This is only a compile time warning and will not prevent your application
from building or executing correctly.
To prevent this warning from appearing In Visual FoxPro, put the EXTERNAL
ARRAY command in the Load Event of the Form or FORMSET with a #REGION 1
before anything else, as in this example:
#REGION 1
EXTERNAL ARRAY <array name>
This prevents the warning and allows you to continue building the
application.
NOTE: Make sure you issue a READ EVENTS command after the DO FORM command
or you will get the error "Variable not found" when executing the form.
