Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Type the following code in the Command window:
    x=NEWOBJECT("_xmltag",home()+"ffc\_html")
x.tagname="Bob"
x.value="test"
x.savefile("myfile")
  2. In the Command window, type the following command:
    DIR Myfile.*
    Notice the file has no extension.
  3. Type the following code in the Command window:
    x=NEWOBJECT("_styletag",home()+"ffc\_html")
x.tagname="Bob2"
x.value="test2"
x.savefile("Myfile2")
  4. In the Command window, type the following command:
    DIR Myfile2.*
    Again, the file has no extension. In Visual FoxPro 6.0 SP3, the files should have the .xml and .css extensions respectively.
