The information in this article applies to:

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

SYMPTOMS
========

The following error message may occur when you add a new item to a catalog when
the catalog is not created in the VFP98\Gallery directory:

  File C:\...vfpgrly.vcx not found.

RESOLUTION
==========

The October 1998 Component Gallery update, Vfp6gal.exe, includes a new version
of the Component Gallery that addresses this problem. You can download the
update from the following Web address:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates.asp

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in the October Visual FoxPro
6.0 Component Gallery and FoxPro Foundation Classes (FFC) updates.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. For more information

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

This error is intermittent on some computers; however, once it does occur, it is
likely to continue to occur until you exit Visual FoxPro.

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

1. Launch Component Gallery.

2. Create a new catalog in a different directory other than the ..\Gallery
  directory. For example, in the C:\Temp directory.

3. While Component Gallery is still running, go to Command window and issue the
  following command: SET DEFAULT TO HOME()+"Gallery\Graphics"

4. Select the newly create catalog in Component Gallery, then right-click the
  right panel of the Component Gallery. In the shortcut menu, point to New
  Item. When the Open dialog box appears, navigate to the graphics directory
  and select a .bmp file.

  RESULTS: The following error occurs:

  File C:\Temp\vfpgrly.vcx not found
