MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. If the Catalog Manager is not displayed, choose Catalog Manager from the

   File menu.

   automatically, choose New Catalog from the File menu.

3. Save the catalog as TEST.FPC.

4. Select the Table tab. Choose Add.

5. Select the CUSTOMER.DBF file from the TUTORIAL subdirectory in the main

   FOXPRO directory. Choose Add, then choose Use.
