The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If the current Visual FoxPro default directory is not the root directory, when
you execute the ADIR() command with the V attribute, which is intended to return
the volume label of the drive containing the directory passed to the
ADIR()function, ADIR() populates the destination array with an empty string,
rather than the correct volume label.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This has been corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Run the following code from a program (.prg) file:
LOCAL lcCurDir, ax[1]
CLEAR
lcCurdir = SET('DEFAULT')+CURDIR()
CD "c:\program files"
=ADIR(aX,"c:\","DV")
?1, aX[1]
CD c:\
=ADIR(aX,"c:","DV")
?2, aX[1]
CD (lcCurDir)
The first ADIR() command sets the value of aX[1] to "". The second ADIR() command
sets the value of aX[1] to <your volume label>.
