PRB: Import Wizard Shows the First 50 Records Only (139335)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q139335

SYMPTOMS

While running the Import Wizard, you can only see the first 50 records in any of the wizard windows. If you click the Options button in the second Import Wizard window and select the Scan All Records check box in the Import Wizard Options window, you can still see only the first 50 records. If you click the Options button in the second Import Wizard window, you'll see that the Scan All Records check box is cleared, as if you never selected it.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The wizard only displays the first 50 records from the data source regardless of whether if you select the Scan All Records check box or not. The wizard does not retain the Scan All Records check box state (selected or cleared).
