SUMMARY
=======
The following questions and answers pertain to applications, executables,
and libraries.
MORE INFORMATION
================
1. Q. I have created an application that does not allow me to edit
my database files. How can I correct this problem?
A. Mark your database as excluded in the project, then rebuild your
application. You must distribute these files to your end users.
Including the database in the project automatically makes these
files read only.
2. Q. Why can't I build an executable file from within my project?
The options to do so are dimmed and unavailable.
A. To build an executable file, you must purchase the Microsoft
FoxPro Distribution Kit and install it in your FoxPro directory.
Prior to installing the FoxPro Distribution Kit, make sure that
the FoxPro files are not marked as read only.
3. Q. When I attempt to build an executable file, I receive the
error message "Link command failed." How can I correct this
problem?
A. If you receive this error message, check the following items:
a. Make sure that you have enough conventional memory.
b. Make sure that you have enough disk space.
c. Increase the number of file handles available to Microsoft
FoxPro for MS-DOS. To do this, you can increase the FILES
setting in the CONFIG.SYS file or increase the FILE HANDLES
setting in the network configuration file.
d. Make sure that FoxPro can find your COMMAND.COM file.
e. Make sure that the following files are on your path:
WLINK8.EXE, PROAPI16.EXE, and FOXSWAP.COM.
f. If you are running the Extended Version of FoxPro, make
sure that DOSMEM=ON is not in your CONFIG.FP file.
4. Q. My executable file runs correctly under the development
version, but I receive the error message "Feature not available"
under the stand-alone version. How can I correct this problem?
A. First, check the "Features Not Available" list in the FoxPro
Distribution Kit documentation. Certain features used for
development are not available in the applications and
executables you create. If you still encounter problems, it is
possible that you are using a macro substitution in your
program. You must either eliminate the macro substitution or
include a program that issues the proper command, but is never
called, in your project. If this problem persists, call
Microsoft Product Support for FoxPro at (425) 635-7191, Monday
through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Pacific time, excluding
holidays.
5. Q. What is the Library Construction Kit and what does it do?
A. The Library Construction Kit is an application programming
interface (API) that allows you to extend the capabilities of
Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS. With this kit, you can create
function libraries of C and assembly language routines that can
be called from within FoxPro.
