SYMPTOMS

When you change the MousePointer property of a Grid object to 14-Arrow, Visual FoxPro produces the following error message:

Expression evaluated to an illegal value.

WORKAROUND

Rather than changing the MousePointer property of the Grid object to 14- Arrow, choose 1-Arrow. The properties are the same, but 1-Arrow does not produce an error message.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Click the MousePointer property of the Grid object and change it to 14-Arrow. The error message "Expression evaluated to an illegal value" appears.
Change the MousePointer property to 1-Arrow. The error does not occur.
