FIX: Get Displays 0 When ENTER Key Used to Move to Next Get (134244)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0

This article was previously published under Q134244

SYMPTOMS

An @...GET whose source contains a numeric value, changes from that numeric value to zero when you press the ENTER key to move to the next GET. This problem doesn't occur if you press the TAB key or use the mouse to move to the next GET. This happens only the first time the program is run after Visual FoxPro is opened.

WORKAROUND

Use a VALID clause that does a REFRESH for the @...GET. (See the "Code to Work Around Behavior" section in this article for an example.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Windows.
