FF 8+ Tip: Using VFP 9 with Foxfire!
Burt Rosen, one of our beta testers, reported a bug for VFP 9 compatibility. if you are using VFP 9 tables, be sure to use the FFSTART9 Executable instead of the FFSTART8.EXE.
In his case, he had a VFP 9 table with binary indices. When the Setup Wizard attempted to load them in, he got an error (File is not open). "That's bizarre" - I thought - as it turned out, it's because VFP 8 cannot understand and open a binary index. Running it with the FFSTART9 resolved the problem.
Thanks Burt!
