The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS
========
The _urlcombobox foundation class that ships with Visual FoxPro 6.0 facilitates
navigation to various Internet resources. The _urlcombobox adds the prefix
"http://" to any URL that is typed in. Entering a URL other than an http
address, such as an ftp address, results in an invalid URL.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
The Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 readme erroneously lists this bug as being
fixed. Service Pack 3 did not fix this bug.
