This article was previously published under Q141913 SYMPTOMS
Attempting to run an executable created with FoxPro 2.x or Visual FoxPro
3.0, which reads a table or .dbf file with an index, results in this error:
Error 1915 - Collating Sequence "<name>" is not found.
In an .exe file created FoxPro for the Mac 2.x and Visual FoxPro 3.0 for
the Macintosh, the following command can trigger the same error.
SET COLLATE TO "General"
CAUSE
The executable is not reading the Foxpro.int file at startup, and the
application is attempting to use a table or .dbf file that has an index
with a collating sequence and code page combination that is not internally
supported.
RESOLUTION
Place the Foxpro.int file in the same directory as the .esl file;
otherwise, error 1915 is generated each time a FoxPro executable uses a
table or .dbf file that contains an index with a Collating Sequence and
Code Page combination that is not internally supported.
Perform one of the following options to get the Foxpro.int file into the
directory with the .esl file.
Option One (recommended)- Include the Foxpro.int file in the application's distribution directory.
- When using FoxPro 2.x, make sure that the Foxpro.int file gets placed in
the directory where the .esl file is located. When using Visual FoxPro's
Setup Wizard to generate distribution disks (during "Step 6 - File
Summary"), change the TARGET DIR property for the Foxpro.int file from
AppDir to WinSysDir.
Option Two- Include the Foxpro.int file in the application distribution directory.
- Create a batch file to copy the Foxpro.int file from the application
directory to the .esl file's directory, and include the batch file in
the application distribution directory.
- In the Setup Wizard, Step 4 - Setup Options, change the POST-SETUP
EXECUTABLE entry to the name of the batch file.
Option Three
Manually copy the Foxpro.int file to the directory where the .esl file is.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
