SYMPTOMS
If you open a database in Visual FoxPro with the NOUPDATE option of the
OPEN DATABASE command, and then you modify the structure of a table
contained in that database, you can save changes to the table structure.
This can cause the database to become invalid.
RESOLUTION
In the versions of Visual FoxPro previous to 6.0, do not modify a table
structure if the OPEN DATABASE command uses the NOUPDATE argument.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Visual
FoxPro 6.0.
