PRB: Screen Titled "5 of 7" Missing in Group/Total Wizard

ID: Q116282

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS

The Group/Total Wizard does not have a screen titled "5 of 7." It goes from a screen titled "4 of 7" to a screen titled "7 of 7."

CAUSE

No fields have been selected for grouping the report.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Screen 5 of 7 prompts you with the following question and instructions:

   Do you want finer control over each grouping?
   If so, select additional criteria below.

You can use this screen to control how the report is grouped.

This screen is not needed unless at least one field was selected in the previous screen for grouping the report.

NOTE: Although this behavior can also be reproduced in FoxPro for MS-DOS, wizard screens in FoxPro for MS-DOS don't contain a title bar displaying the screen number. This makes it less apparent that a screen has been skipped.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. In the Command window, type "CLOSE ALL" (without the quotation marks).

2. From the Run menu, choose Wizard, and then choose Report.

3. When prompted, select Group/Total Report Wizard. Choose Next.

4. When prompted to select a table, choose Open.

5. Select CUSTOMER.DBF, located in the <FoxPro_directory>\TUTORIAL

   subdirectory. Choose Open, and then choose Next.

6. When prompted to select a style, choose Next.

7. When prompted for the fields to include, select CNO, COMPANY, and

   CONTACT from the Available Fields list box, and add them to the Selected
   Fields list box. Choose Next.

8. Note that this screen is titled "Group/Total Report Wizard - Step 4 of

   7." Choose Next.

Note that the next screen displayed is titled "Group/Total Report Wizard - Step 7 of 7."

NOTE

To see the screen titled "Group/Total Report Wizard - Step 5 of 7," repeat the steps above, but select at least one field for grouping when prompted in step 8.

Also note that in this example, Screen 6 of 7, used for creating group totals, does not appear.
