The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q156059

SYMPTOMS

The following error occurs when you use any of the first ten characters of the alphabet (a-j) as a single letter SCX name and an ON KEY LABEL command to reference the form object:
"Unrecognized Command Verb"

WORKAROUND

Change the name of the form so it uses a different letter or has multiple characters in the name.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The first ten characters of the alphabet (a-j) are not supported as SCX names that can be referenced by the ON KEY LABEL command; these characters are reserved for dBASE compatibility. However, if you use any alphabet letter after "j," or any other multiple letter name, it will work properly.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a form, and save it as g.scx.
  2. Add a couple of Textboxes to the form.
  3. In the Init Event of the form, put the following code: 
       ON KEY LABEL F4 g.text2.setfocus()
  4. Run the form.
Note that the error occurred with "Unrecognized Command Verb."
