The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0

SYMPTOMS
========

The Documenting Wizard and the Beautify command do not properly capitalize
keywords when Mixed case is chosen as the keyword capitalization method.

RESOLUTION
==========

One possible resolution is to USE the fdkeywrd.dbf file and change the
capitalization of the keywords contained in the file. The following code
accomplishes this:

     *-- Code begins here
     USE HOME()+"WIZARDS\FDKEYWRD"
     REPLACE ALL Token WITH PROPER(Token)
     USE
     *-- Code ends here

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.

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

1. Enter the following into an editing window:

      CLEAR
      SET CLOCK ON
      CLOSE DATA

2. Select the code. Right-click the Editing window and click Beautify.

3. Click Mixed case in the Keywords list box. Click Run.

  Note that only CLEAR is changed to Mixed case capitalization.
