Ok, I have looked at everything I can find and the only difference
That I can see with this FldSetFont() issue is the difference
in attributes of the fields.
Since, this function worked with form2 and field1 and not
with form2 and field2, I decided to make the field2 attributes
the same as field1. Sure enough, if the field2 is changed
to a multi-line field, like field1, I do not get the error.
The error was "app has just written to low memory, "NULL""
Why does this function fail on a single line field? I have ruled
out all other attributes as the casue. Only lingle-line fields
cause this error when AdjustFieldFont() is executed.
