Hi Paul, That's very interesting that you aren't shown the entire number. I don't know if this makes a difference, but when I enter a number, I enter the area code, followed by a dash, followed by the first three digits, followed by a dash, and then followed by the last four, if it's a number in the U.S. However, I've never had an instance where I haven't been shown the entire field. The QT commands I put in the post I sent were ones that I found while looking through the manual that could be downloaded from the Pulse Data website (CONTROL with K and READ with Comma, I Believe), so I either could have been looking in the wrong place of the manual, or there was an error in documentation. I've noticed that, with KeySoft version 5.1, the cursor doesn't immediate appear unless you start typing, so once you executed the command to modify a field, you would have to place the cursor somewhere before editing. When you exit a record after changing it in any way, you have to answer yes to the Confirm Changes prompt in order for them to take effect, but when you re-enter the record, your changes should be there. Sorry, but I really can't think of a reason why you aren't being shown all of your fields. Does it happen to you all the time? Once I wasn't able to see any of the fields, but a Reset with no keys held down fixed it. It doesn't sound like your database is corrupted or anything, but you might want to copy the record in question to the clipboard (this option is in the Block Commands Menu of the Address List), and read it from the clipboard to see what's actually in there. The Clipboard File is called KeySoft, and it's fount in the root directory (None folder or / directory) of the Flash Disk. You can request information about the file to make sure it's the right one, and you would be told "clipboard file"; also, you'll have to have the view of "all files" to see it because it's not a document. If the phone number isn't actually there, you may have done something like exiting the record without confirming changes. If you could edit before, and you have a backup of the database with all your current records, you might want to copy that database over and replace it for the old one, and that might work. I've honestly never experienced your problem, so I can't really think of any other suggestions for you at the moment, but I hope this helps. Maria
