by Although our company upgraded its copy of FoxPro, one of our clients
didn't.
Our copy even of FoxPro 2.0 runs nicely on a Pentium, in extended mode
(foxprox) as well as standard (foxpro).
Their copy, though, when run on a Pentium gives the error "MEMO file
missing/invalid" when attempting to save a screen after editing. As
well, it has some other strange behavior. (This applies only to
foxprolx, not foxprol.)
They have FoxPro LAN, so the program is foxprol and foxprolx, and
their build may be slightly earlier - the "Run" choice is not present
on their menu.
Upgrading to the _current_ version of FoxPro doesn't seem to be an
option; I tried converting a DOS application to VFP 3.0, and it was
very slow. (We can compile it on 2.5, because we bought the
distribution kit for version 2.5 for DOS, but that means we won't be
able to maintain at the customer site.)
Has anyone out there encountered this problem (I searched on DejaNews,
and found one person who may have had the same problem; she did not
describe her situation in detail, or get a useful answer)?
