KB129646 - FIX: Error Routine Not Called for USE Command

SYMPTOMS

Visual FoxPro will not trap for the error caused by trying to open a table that is part of a corrupted database.

Usually, the "USE customer" command will open the table and the database that the table is part of. If the Database is corrupt, the following message is displayed:

   The database for table C:\..\CUSTOMER.DBF could not be opened. Would you
   like to try to locate the owning database or delete the link (and free
   the table). Locate   Delete    Cancel

In a program with an error routine, the error routine is not called, and the above message is still displayed. Selecting Cancel ends the program.

SET DEFAULT TO C:\VFP\SAMPLES\DATA ON ERROR DO errhand WITH ERROR(), MESSAGE() USE customer ON ERROR PROCEDURE errhand PARAMETERS errno, errmsg WAIT WINDOW STR(errno)+" "+ errmsg RETURN
