SYMPTOMS
========
Users can change the icon associated with a FoxPro database from the standard
FoxPro icon to one of their preference by choosing Get Info from the File menu;
this opens a dialog box where the icon can be selected and then copied or
pasted. However, if a record in the database is marked for deletion and a PACK
command is issued, the icon changes from the users' icon to the FoxPro default
icon.
RESOLUTION
==========
Instead of issuing a PACK command, use the code below as a workaround.
In the following example, CUSTOMER is the database that contains the record that
has been marked for deletion and TEMP is a temporary database:
USE customer
COPY TO temp.dbf FOR NOT DELETED()
USE temp
SET SAFETY OFF
COPY TO customer.dbf
SET SAFETY ON
USE
DELETE FILE temp.dbf
