The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When a report has a table in the data environment and you use the NOWAIT clause
with a filter, the first record of the table appears, ignoring the filter. This
behavior only happens with the PREVIEW clause. Printing a report to the printer
with the NOWAIT clause works as expected.

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 report.

2. Add the Customer table to the data environment.

3. Add the Cust_id, City, and Country fields to the report.

4. Save the report with the name Ztest.

5. Issue the following command in the Command window:

  REPORT FORM Ztest FOR Country = "USA" PREVIEW NOWAIT

Notice that the first record in the report is from the country Germany and not
the United States.
