SYMPTOMS
========
When using the Macintosh PowerPC and creating a new query, under certain
conditions, the following error occurs:
Sorry, a system error occurred. "Microsoft Visual FoxPro" error type 11.
You then have to click Restart or press the reset button to regain control of the
computer.
The conditions that cause this error are an open form in design mode with the
form property sheet set to "Always on Top" at the same time a query is being
created using the Query Designer.
Specific steps to create these conditions follow in this document.
CAUSE
=====
Properties sheet pushpin to select Always On Top.
RESOLUTION
==========
Select the pushpin on the form properties sheet so that it is not selected prior
to creating the new query.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
NOTE: Save and Close any other application or document prior to following these
steps.
1. Open an existing form such as the Category.scx, which is located in the
FoxPro folder \Samples\Mainsamp\Forms.
2. Hold the Control key while clicking on the form and select Properties.
3. On the Properties sheet select the pushpin button such that "Always On Top"
is selected.
4. From the File menu, select New.
5. Select File Type Query and select New File.
6. On the Add Table or View dialog box, select Other.
7. Open an existing table such as the Orders.dbf located in the FoxPro folder
named Samples\Mainsamp\Data.
8. In the Query Designer, select the tab named Fields.
9. Notice that the list of Available Fields is empty. This is necessary in order
to reproduce the problem. If the list of Available Fields is not empty then
the problem does not occur.
10. Selecting the Functions/Expressions drop-down while the list of Available
Fields is empty generates the type 11 error message.
NOTE: At times, selection of all fields (*) from the data environment area of the
Query Designer also causes the error.
