Visual FoxPro version 3.0 terminates with a general protection (GP) fault when
you are creating a form, if you insert an OLE Container and then exit from
Visual FoxPro with the Insert Object dialog box still open.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in FoxPro 3.0b for
Windows.
