Re: FoxPro 2.6 on Windows XP

Note the article was specifically referring to vfp so I don't think that fix
will work with fpw26. I simply read the article as meaning all versions of
foxpro up to that point, ie including fpw26, and of course I may be mistaken
on this.

This is why I went for the simple option of using a Windows driver.

I did find the 'More information' section interesting because it showed how
to reproduce the error. This told me that somewhere in my app a divide by
zero was probably occurring. I did investigate and found one or two
circumstances where this could occur and fixed them. The issue almost went
away but I don't know whether this is because I fixed the divide by zero, or
they switched drivers.
