-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Page 216 in the Developer's Guide contains a code example to create a maxordamt
field with a default value of 1000. However, the DBSETPROP command uses the
value of 10,000 instead of 1000.

This documentation error has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To create a maxordamt field with a default value of 1000, use the following code
instead of the example code on Page 216 in the Developer's Guide:

     OPEN DATABASE testdata
     USE VIEW customer_view
     ?DBSETPROP ('Customer_view.maxordamt', 'Field1', 'DefaultValue', 1000)
