Here's a problem that I've just encountered. VFP has a problem with & in text literals in class definitions. It's probably getting mixed up with macro substitution somewhere - When there are spaces around the & all is ok.

Here's a demo:-


LOCAL loForm
loForm = CREATEOBJECT("frmDemo")
loForm.show

READ EVENTS


DEFINE CLASS frmDemo AS Form

Caption = "Demo of ampersand problem"
PROCEDURE Unload
CLEAR EVENTS
ENDPROC

Add Object lbl1 AS lblDemo with top = 5, left = 5
ENDDEFINE

DEFINE Class lblDemo AS Label
AutoSize = .t.
Caption = "This&That"
ENDDEFINE
