Hi Christof,

Do you mind if I use this in my presentation on error messages? I'll credit you (and Tom), of course.

>Yes. Under some situations, VFP doesn't add a terminating CHR(0) to the string. If additionally, the string is stored at the end of an allocated memory block, a function in the MSVCRT runtime (strstr) accesses invalid memory. This attempt results in an exception raised by the Windows memory management. To fix this issue, you need to add CHR(0), as Tom mentioned, but also remove it afterwards:
