FIX: Data Designer Validation Text Causes Invalid Page Fault

This article was previously published under Q141528

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

The Validation Text properties button in the Database Designer has a limitation. When the text box is filled with the maximum of 253 characters, Visual FoxPro will shut down. If the operating system is Windows for Workgroups, it will shut down immediately, and if the operating system is Windows 95, you'll first receive an Invalid Page Fault error message.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Open a database (.dbc file) by using the MODIFY DATABASE command.
  2. Click any table to select it. Then right-click, and choose Modify.
  3. In the text box next to Validation text, enclose in as many characters in quotation marks as it will allow (253 characters).
  4. Click OK. In Windows 95, an Invalid Page Fault will occur. In Windows for Workgroups, Visual FoxPro quits and sends you directly to the operating system without an error.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0b Standard Edition

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
