I've downloaded the VFP8 installation from the MSDN Universal Subscription site. Installation didn't report any errors, but I'm getting two very strange behaviors:
#1 SET DEFAULT TO [path] gives an "Invalid Path or File Name" even with valid paths, like C:\. CHDIR works fine, though.
#2 For Access methods, the parameter value does not seem to be getting passed to the Access method, for example:
Class bizobjects has a property dataobjects[1,0]
----
Dataobjects_access method:
LPARAMETERS m.nIndex1
LOCAL nDataObject
....
RETURN this.dataobjects(m.nIndex1)
-----
When Executing line of code:
this.dataobjects(nCounter).setUtilityObject(this.oUtilityObject)
m.nIndex1 in the Access method is always .F.
This works fine in VFP6 & VFP7, I know we now have proper Collections (which the above code is designed to emulate, allows for named Collections like this.dataobjects("mydataobject").myProperty - but is this now going to be broken in VFP8 or is there a bug here or problem with my installation?
Thanks for the help.
