SYMPTOMS
========

When printing from Microsoft Mastering Visual FoxPro, you may experience general
protection faults (GP faults).

RESOLUTION
==========

This problem can be caused by several different factors. The following details
possible solutions to try:

- When a document is being printed, avoid clicking the mouse on the screen or
  attempting to access other applications. When a document is being printed,
  you will not be able to access other applications that are running. Also, the
  Cancel button that is displayed is not functional and should not be clicked.

- The system may be low on memory or free resources. Attempt to free up some
  memory or resources by closing other applications that are running. Also, see
  the section "Running in Low Memory or Running Slowly" in the Readme.txt
  included with the product.

If the problem still persists, there are two other alternatives available:

- There is a print utility that is available for Mastering Visual FoxPro. (On
  CompuServe, in the Visual FoxPro forum [go VFOX], in the Mastering VFP
  library section.) This utility is a separate program that uses the CD-ROM to
  print any of the documents in the product. For individuals who have been
  having problems printing directly from the product, this utility has worked
  for them. The print utility is Mvfp_pri.exe.

- All of the documents inside the product are available as RTF files. As a last
  resort, you can use Word for Windows (or any other word processor that reads
  RTF files) to open these files and print the desired documents.

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

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Mastering Visual FoxPro version
1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
