BUG: Modifying Files with Name "Neu" Does Not Display Content (266075)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0a
Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 6.0

This article was previously published under Q266075

SYMPTOMS

On the German Windows operating system with the localized version of Visual FoxPro 5.x or 6.x, save a program file whose name starts with "Neu," such as NeuTest.prg. When you open the file again, you do not see the previously saved code in the editor; instead, a new file opens. Similar behavior occurs when you are saving files of type form and class.

RESOLUTION

Rename the VFP6deu.dll file to VFP6enu.dll. This allows the previously saved code to be opened in the editor again. However, with VFP6enu.dll, the Visual FoxPro menu is in English rather than in German.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Install localized German version of Visual FoxPro 6.x on a German OS computer.
Create a new project named "p1."
Create a new program.
In the .prg file, type in the following command:
```
WAIT WINDOW "TEST"
X=1
					
```
Close the .prg file and save it as Neutest.prg.
In the Command window, issue the following command:
```
MODIFY COMMAND NEUTEST.PRG
					
```
Note that you do not see the previously saved code in the editor. Instead, a new file opens.
