-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 7.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) Connection OpenSchema()
method, version 9262 of the Microsoft Visual FoxPro OLE DB provider may not
identify tables properly.
The OLE DB provider identifies tables properly until the provider encounters a
file with a file extension that has been modified, such as an executable (.exe)
file that is renamed to have a .dbf file extension. The OLE DB provider may
identify this file properly, but the provider will not identify tables properly
after this point.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Visual FoxPro for
Windows 7.0. For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q316964 How to Obtain the Latest Visual FoxPro for Windows 7.0 Service Pack
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 9262 of the Visual
FoxPro OLE DB Provider, which shipped with Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7.0. This
problem was first corrected in Visual FoxPro for Windows 7.0 Service Pack 1.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
Run the following code from Visual FoxPro 7.0. The code will create four tables
and one text (.txt) file that is renamed to have a .dbf file extension.
CLEAR
#DEFINE adSchemaTables 20
LOCAL lcStr1 as String, ;
lcMyDSN as String, ;
loRS as ADODB.RecordSet, ;
loConn as ADODB.Connection
lcStr1 = "This is a text file, not a .dbf"
lcMyDsn = "Provider= vfpoledb;Data Source=" + JUSTPATH(SYS(16))
loRS = NULL
loConn = NULL
CD JUSTPATH(SYS(16))
CREATE TABLE Q314888_A.DBF (F1 i)
CREATE TABLE Q314888_B.DBF (F1 i)
STRTOFILE(lcStr1, "Q314888_C.DBF")
CREATE TABLE Q314888_D.DBF (F1 i)
CREATE TABLE Q314888_E.DBF (F1 i)
INSERT INTO Q314888_A VALUES (1)
INSERT INTO Q314888_B VALUES (2)
INSERT INTO Q314888_D VALUES (3)
INSERT INTO Q314888_E VALUES (4)
CLOSE TABLES ALL
loConn = CREATEOBJECT("ADODB.Connection")
loConn.OPEN(lcMyDSN)
loRS = loConn.OpenSchema(adSchemaTables)
WITH loRS
? .FIELDS(2).NAME
.MoveFirst
DO WHILE ! .EOF
? .FIELDS(2).VALUE
.MoveNext
ENDDO
ENDWITH
loRS.CLOSE
loConn.CLOSE
loRS = NULL
loConn = NULL
ERASE Q314888*.DBF
