- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Visual FoxPro 6.0, using the Project Object's Close method to close the
current Project does not make the other open project the active project.

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

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

Place the following code in a program file and run the program:

     LOCAL lnI

     MODIFY PROJECT test1 NOWAIT NOSHOW
     MODIFY PROJECT test2 NOWAIT NOSHOW
     ? "Active Project " + Application.ActiveProject.Name

     FOR lnI = 1 TO Application.Projects.Count
        ? "Project " + ALLTRIM(STR(lnI)) + " " + ;
            Application.Projects.Item(lnI).Name
     ENDFOR

     WAIT WINDOW "Note that project 1 is the active project!" TIME 1
     WAIT WINDOW "Now we are going to close project 1" TIME 1
     Application.Projects.Item(1).Close()
     WAIT WINDOW "Now lets check Application.ActiveProject." TIME 1
     ? Application.ActiveProject.Name

When the program executes the last line, the following error message appears:

  OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from Visual FoxPro for Windows: 1923:
