Hi Garret,
My code is ready. I posted it under a new thread out of concern for it getting lost in this thread. Here is a repost of my message!
Several days ago I posted about a serious bug in VFP8 that basically renders the VFP8 based applications unreliable. I didn't get very many responses, probably because many here thought it was something "I was doing." Well, here ya grow! Looks like the problem is more than just REQUERY()! Kind of surprised that Microsoft would not have chimed in here on this one. Oh well!
I tried to post the code here but it wouldn't allow me to post it.
Pickup up the programs at:
ftp:\\www.interactivedatasystems.com\rebug.zip.
Two programs here, Northwind.prg to generate a test DBC and rebug.prg to that contains the code necessary to show that REQUERY() has issues and/or VFP8 is unstable. You will need access to SQL 2000 and the classes from the FFC directory under HOME().
Rebug.prg
*-- Demonstration of a Major REQUERY() bug in VFP v8.
*--
*-- The following class libraries are from the
*-- VFP8 FFC directory. Notice that if you move
*-- the object creation up, say below _BASE, the problem
*-- may or may not go away. You may also need to add
*-- more class libraries to reproduce. On our development
*-- machines, this is all it takes. Go ahead, try it and then
*-- move the object creation up a few classes. As you approach the
*-- the top, the problem goes away voila!
