PRB: MODIFY MEMO Behaves As If the NOWAIT Clause Has Been Used

ID: Q110528

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b
• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b
• Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS

When you are using the MODIFY MEMO command with multiple memo fields, the program behaves as if the NOWAIT clause has been used. For example, if you issue the following command in the Command window

   MODIFY MEMO <memo field1, memo field2>

RESOLUTION

To avoid this problem, use two MODIFY MEMO commands with the following syntax:

   MODIFY MEMO <memo field1> NOWAIT
   MODIFY MEMO <memo field2>
