Subject:  Problem: FoxWeb 1.X code on FoxWeb 2.X
I'm looking for any input regarding the running of legacy FoxWeb 1.x code on an updated FoxWeb 2.x server with the compatibility set 'ON'.
 
In a previous posting I noted the 'problem' of lost variables being recovered by 'refreshing' the main page.  Now it appears that there's an intermittent problem with calling pages from other pages.  The pages are all built with Xbase (FoxPro) code, and displayed using the legacy MergeTxt() function.  When looking at the HTML code on the page previous to any error, the page is missing the next page reference that is inserted programmatically based on the page it was called from.  The result is an error that "Script '.FWX' is invalid, non-existent, or has not been compiled".  There is no FoxWeb error log generated for this error.
 
We can only recreate this error by going directly to the calling page bypassing the main page that instantiates the session variables.  However, our users seem to be getting this error often enough to call us.  It's hard to fix something when you cannot recreate the error generated by their actions.
