SYMPTOMS
========
When printing some reports under Windows NT, Visual FoxPro causes a Dr. Watson
error such as the following:
Exception: Access Violation (0xc0000005)
This may happen when printing a report multiple times in a loop.
RESOLUTION
==========
Use the following code to ensure that the appropriate fields in the report file
are null-terminated, as FoxPro expects. Run this code to process the reports in
the current directory:
* Get list of report files in current directory.
nNumReports = ADIR(aReports, "*.FRX")
* Loop through reports
FOR nCurrentReport = 1 TO nNumReports
USE (aReports[nCurrentReport,1]) EXCLUSIVE ALIAS FRXFILE
* Add terminating null to printer information record.
REPLACE ALL expr WITH expr + CHR(0) ;
FOR objtype = 1 AND RIGHT(expr,1) != CHR(0)
PACK
USE
