Tom, Interesting discussion. In 2014 and 2015 I noticed the below “Junk” showing up in a text field quite often. [cid:[email protected]] I saw it rarely in 2016 and so far none in 2017. No EEPs use this field and it is always defined (when using in a temp table) as TEXT. Any idea what causes this?

The Audit table column was a TEXT, but in two small EEPs I defined one variable as CURRENCY and another as an INTEGER. They were correct for the original screen usage. As part of the audit record they needed to be converted to TEXT. It took many readings of the EEPs to finally see the mixed types. The umlauts went away.

This has been baffling me for some time. What AM I doing to create garbage in a Note field before any data is entered?
