FoxPro FAQ

Incompatible Memory Manager
If you are trying to run a FoxPro 2.0 application built as an extended executable on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, then you will get this error. The solution is to rebuild the application with FoxPro 2.5 for Windows. FoxPro 2.0 used an old DOS memory management system called VCPI, while FoxPro 2.5 uses DPMI which is compatible with the newer Windows versions. I have tried using DosBox 6.3 which claims to have included VCPI compatibility. However I had no success. Hopefully these great guys will eventually come up with something for us.


"Not a database file" or "Not a Table"
Your table header is corrupt. Probably you switched off your PC while your FoxPro application was still open. You need a DBF repair utility to fix your problem. If you are unable to do this, contact us.


Unable to create temporary work file
Check the TMPFILES setting in your config.fp file. It is probably pointing to a directory that does not exist.
