Q139008

The information in this article applies to:

MSPRESS Mastering Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When printing from Microsoft Mastering Visual FoxPro, you may experience general protection faults (GP faults).

RESOLUTION

This problem can be caused by several different factors. The following details possible solutions to try:

When a document is being printed, avoid clicking the mouse on the screen or attempting to access other applications. When a document is being printed, you will not be able to access other applications that are running. Also, the Cancel button that is displayed is not functional and should not be clicked.

The system may be low on memory or free resources. Attempt to free up some memory or resources by closing other applications that are running. Also, see the section "Running in Low Memory or Running Slowly" in the Readme.txt included with the product.

If the problem still persists, there are two other alternatives available:

There is a print utility that is available for Mastering Visual FoxPro. (On CompuServe, in the Visual FoxPro forum [go VFOX], in the Mastering VFP library section.) This utility is a separate program that uses the CD-ROM to print any of the documents in the product. For individuals who have been having problems printing directly from the product, this utility has worked for them. The print utility is Mvfp_pri.exe.

All of the documents inside the product are available as RTF files. As a last resort, you can use Word for Windows (or any other word processor that reads RTF files) to open these files and print the desired documents.
