STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

When you save a Visual Fox Pro form with an MFC ActiveX control, the IPersistStreamInit::Save interface method of the control is called. This eventually calls the AfxFullPath() function with name of the stream. In Visual C++ .NET 2002, and in earlier versions of Visual C++, this call failed on computers that were running Microsoft Windows 98. However, the failure was ignored. In Visual C++ .NET 2003, an exception is thrown. Visual Fox Pro captures the exception and displays it as the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
