There is change in Close database function in VFP9.
Once, a database is opened in a form, it can be closed only when a form is
closed. This major change has been indicated only by way of note in help
topic of Close Database.
Is not fair for MS to document every change that is made from earlier
version at a place where one can find it easily ? It helps the developer to
know what is changed and he can assess its implications.
This changed has ruined my all developments hitherto made. For my general
accounting application, different company can be selected in one form. What
I am doing on selecting on new company, I close old databse and open databse
from new directoy. It is working very fine till VFP 9. Now as in VFP 9 due
to chnage in Close Database behavior, as old databse cannot be closed,
requerring is not properly functioning and giving very odd results.
Is there is any workaround to close database in a form ?
And one question arises in my mind that If a database cannot be closed in a
form, what is the use of close databse function ? Database is always closed
when a form is released. Moreover what prompted VFP team to change this
behavior ?
Thanks in advance.
