---------------------------
1. Add the line MVCOUNT=64000 to your Config.fpw file and restart Visual FoxPro.
This ensures that Visual FoxPro can add enough entries to the name table to
cause the error.
2. Create a program called "Test", add the following code, and then run the
program:
FOR x = 1 TO 50000
varname = "blah" + TRANSFORM(x)
PUBLIC &varname
ENDFOR
ACTIVATE WINDOW PROPERTIES
3. Make sure that the Properties window is dockable by right-clicking its title
bar and selecting Dockable (if not already set).
4. Press ALT+TAB to switch focus away from Visual FoxPro, and press ALT+TAB
again to return. (This packs the name table.)
5. Close the Properties window.
Visual FoxPro closes after reporting the error mentioned in the "Symptoms"
section.
