Hi;

Using Foxpro Dos 2.6:

If I do a browse nowait wind X

And later I zap the file, the browse wind disapears.

Is there a solution to this issue?

Thx,

AK

The Browse window is closed because Zap deletes the table.dbf
and creates a new one (which is why you need to Use it Exclusive).
So you can only run your Browse command again right afterwards.
(Sounds as if a temporary cursor might be useful in your scenario?)

I don't really disagree, but I have also tried DELETE ALL , PACK.
Unless pack does the same.
In any case - running the browse again gets the screen to kinda
flicker. No solution to the problem?

Thanks,
AK

AK,
Yes, DELETE ALL, PACK also effectively creates a new table - more importantly the internal handle to the open file that the Browse uses is no longer valid and FPW doesn't offer any way to "reset" it. In Visual FoxPro, it's easy to clear the Grid's recordsource property, "fix" the table and then set it to the new table, and just refresh the grid. Windows and VFP do offer advantages over an evironment that hasn't been updated in over nine years.
