Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Make sure that you have Microsoft Exchange installed on the test computer and have created a valid Exchange Profile.
  2. Create a program file and type the following code: 
          oleMAPISession = CREATEOBJECT( "MSMAPI.MAPISession" )
      oleMAPIMessage = CREATEOBJECT( "MSMAPI.MAPIMessages" )
      WITH oleMAPISession
         .Signon()
            IF ( .SessionID > 0 )
               oleMAPIMessage.SessionID = .SessionID
               ACTIVATE WINDOW watch
               oleMAPIMessage.FETCH()
               SUSPEND
            ENDIF
       ENDWITH
  3. Save and run the program.
  4. When the Debug window opens (this may take a minute depending the speed of the computer), enter oleMapiMesssage in the Watch window.
  5. Expand the MAPI control (oleMapiMessage) and scroll down or up in the Watch window.
At this point, you will get an Application error and Visual FoxPro shuts down.
