DOCERR: Help Topic "Switching Views" Is Incorrect in VFP 3.0 (156171)

SUMMARY

The example in the Visual FoxPro Help under "Switching Between Local and Remote Data at Run Time" has an error. Step 7 states the following incorrectly:

In the Init event code for the data environment, call the data environment's OpenTables method:

      THIS.OpenTables

MORE INFORMATION

For the example to work correctly, step 7 should be changed to the following:

In the Load event code for the form, call the data environment's OpenTables method:

      THISFORM.Dataenvironment.OpenTables

You must also change step 8, which states the following incorrectly:

In the Init event code for the cursor, set the CursorSource property to the appropriate view, based on the setting of the user-defined form property.

For example, the following code checks the form property and accordingly sets the CursorSource to a remote or local view:

      IF THISFORM.UseRemote = .T.
         THIS.CursorSource = RemoteView
      ELSE
         THIS.CursorSource = LocalView
      ENDIF

Change step 8 to the following:

In the OpenTables method code for the data environment, set the CursorSource property of the cursor to the appropriate view, based on the setting of the user-defined form property.

For example, the following code checks the form property and accordingly sets the CursorSource to a remote or local view:

      IF THISFORM.UseRemote = .T.
         THIS.Cursor1.CursorSource = RemoteView
      ELSE
         THIS.Cursor1.CursorSource = LocalView
      ENDIF
