SYMPTOMS
When you try to open a file using the File Open dialog box, the error
"File Not Found" or "File Does Not Exist" may occur.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when the FoxUSER file is not present in the System
Folder or when there is an INIT or Extension conflict.
Other possible causes include having multiple FoxUSER files on the
system, a corrupted FoxUSER file, or a database file with an extension
other than .DBF.
RESOLUTION
To determine if there is an INIT or Extension conflict, disable all
Extensions or INITs, as follows:
- Under System 7.0, press the SHIFT key while restarting the machine
to disable all Extensions. Once the logo "Welcome to
Macintosh/Extensions Off" appears, release the SHIFT key.
- Under System 6.0x, drag each INIT out of the System Folder and
restart the Macintosh.
NOTE: You may not be able to remove all the Extensions or INITs; some
may be needed to run the Macintosh. Remove as many INITs or Extensions
as possible.
