-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

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

SYMPTOMS
========

The Genhtml engine included with Visual FoxPro 6.0 has many dependencies,
including several programs and a number of foundation class libraries. When
building a project that uses Genhtml.prg, the project manager will often fail to
automatically include all the necessary dependencies in the project.

RESOLUTION
==========

The following files should be manually added to the project:

  _base.vcx
  _html.vcx
  _movers.vcx
  Runcode.prg
  Setobjrf.prg

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 Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.

For more information about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following
articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

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

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

1. Create a new project.

2. Add a new program to the project.

3. Add the following code to the program added in step 2.

  CREATE TABLE test (f1 CHAR(10))
  FOR i = 1 TO 10
  	INSERT INTO test VALUES(TIME())
  ENDFOR
  DO Genhtml.prg WITH ALIAS(), ALIAS(), 2

4. Build the project into an EXE.

5. Run the EXE.

Note that the EXE will fail because it cannot find all of its dependencies.
