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

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

SYMPTOMS
========

When modifying the Baseform class of the French Wizstyle visual class library,
the following error occurs:

  Fatal error: Exception code=C0000005

This error occurs if you use either the MODIFY CLASS command or the Visual FoxPro
menus to open the baseform class.

CAUSE
=====

The description for the wizard-added property WizBtnPos is greater than 252
bytes. Therefore, potentially any property that had a description this large
could cause the same error.

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. Set the default to the folder containing the French version of the
  Wizstyle.vcx file.

2. Modify the BaseForm class using either the MODIFY CLASS command or the menu
  options.

  Before the Baseform class opens, the error mentioned in the SYMPTOMS section
  occurs and Visual FoxPro closes.
