Re: TMG -- MS Visual Foxpro errors

c0000005 is a very common error with that version of FoxPro. Looks like it uses VFP7 runtime, which is 2 versions and several years out of date. Version 7 was fairly buggy, and prone to c0000005 errors. When I see these happen in older version, I tell the client to upgrade to VFP9. It's also possible that Wine is contributing to this as well. Also, corruption tables/indexes/files can cause this. About the only thing you can do is delete and reinstall, but I'm doubtfull that will help. The next thing is to go back to the vendor and see if they have a current version based on VFP8 or 9, or if the source code is available. I have, over the years, wasted way too much time trying to fix c05 errors, and it's almost always been caused by bugs in VFP. The current version has several of these fixed because I was able to show Microsoft how to duplicate them.
 
If you have the expertise, you can install VFP9 runtime, and make a program in VFP9 that calls the VFP7 program (tmg.exe). This forces it to run with VFP9 runtime and in some cases that fixes things. I used to run Visual AccountMate (VAM) version 5 with VFP8 runtime, and it fixed several things that were known bugs in VFP5. Unfortunately, there are a few changes to VFP9 that might cause other problems, such as the ENGINEBEHAVIOR setting that has to do with whether or not sloppy SQL will execute. VFP9 defaults to much stricter syntax and this prevents VFP7 or 8 apps running out of the box with VFP9 runtime. IOW, YMMV.

Here's the error message (I'm sure there's a way to get a screen shot, but I don't know it):

Fatal error: Exception code=C0000005 @12/10/07 05:09:42PM. Error log file C:\Windows\System32\fp7rerr.log. Called from - tmgappobj.init line 45 (c:\program files\common\libs\appobj.vct c:\program files\common\libs\appobj.vct) Called from - tmgmain line 301 {C:\Program Files\The Master Genealogist\tmg\programs\tmgmain.prg c:\program files\the master genealogist\tmg.exe}


Thank you for any advice.

I know a bit about FoxPro - been developing apps in it since 1990, have used every dos and windows version that was ever made. What are the specific error messages? Screen shots help, but at the least the text of the messages. Is TMG a commercial application, or can I download it from somewhere?

Subject: TMG -- MS Visual Foxpro errors

I'd like very much to be able to run "The Master Genealogist" under Wine.  TMG is a MS Visual Foxpro application for genealogy database work.  On my Kubuntu 6.10  system I have successfully downloaded and installed Wine 0.9.30, and then installed TMG ver. 6 including updates to 6.12, the current version.  During TMG installation, there was a problem with a lack of "keyboard.dll", which I fixed, so now there are no errors until I attempt to run TMG.  Upon running the executable, I'm getting Foxpro errors, which are beyond my ability (I'm no CS major).  I've tried both Win 2000 and Win 9x modes -- still no joy.  I think it's close to running, but there is a little "something" that is not quite right.

Is there a Foxpro programmer on the list who could take a look at the error messages and give me a little advice? I've offered to become the Application Maintainer for TMG if I can get it running stable. There's a huge installed base of TMG users -- probably some would come over to Linux if there was a proven reliable way to run it.

Thanks!
