PRB: File Imported from MS-DOS Doesn't Appear in FoxBASE+/Mac
PSS ID Number: 100559
Article Last Modified on 6/28/2004
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FoxBASE+ for Macintosh 2.01
This article was previously published under Q100559
SYMPTOMS
When a file is first imported from MS-DOS to the Macintosh, it is not
automatically tagged as a FoxBASE+/Mac file until it is opened by
FoxBASE+/Mac. This means the file will not appear on the desktop with
the proper icon and it will not show up in the FoxBASE+/Mac File
Finder dialog boxes.
RESOLUTION
To open the imported file, click the All Files check box, and select
the desired file.
After FoxBASE+/Mac accesses a file for the first time, the file will
thereafter appear on the desktop with the proper icon and will be
listed in the appropriate File Finder dialog boxes. This information
applies to all file types, including programs, databases, memory
variable save files, reporting descriptions, and label descriptions.
