Thank you, Buddy. On closer inspection, after I sent my message, I TRACED the variable subset as its values were NULLed just before the SETFOCUS.

The RECALC VAR has no effect on this:

What is in fact happening is that the DISPLAY of those variable values is not being cleared from their Variable Edit controls during the rotation.

But when I Tab away from the first control in the Tab Order [a Variable Radio Group - one of the retained values ], the VE controls for the NULLed variables go blank, as intended.

So the real question is: How does one blank the display of now-NULLed previous values within their associated controls?

Much appreciated!

Have you tried RECALC VAR after settling them to null and before the setfocus

Fairly new to Forms.

A Variable Form provides values to an On Click EEP in a Bit Button. The EEP succeeds at its tasks, then returns FOCUS to the first control in the Form's Tab Order, as intended.

One subset of variable values survive the rotation, as intended. A second subset of variable values must be NULLed during the rotation, so that their associated controls are blank when the Form reappears.

I've failed to clear this latter group of values, variably using CLEAR VAR and SET VAR = NULL commands:

(a) ahead of the SETFOCUS at the tail end of the Bit Button's On Click EEP;

(b) in the Bit Button's On Exit EEP;

(c) in the On After Start EEP of the form itself.

It's gottta be something basic.

What is the established procedure for clearing a subset of variable values when rotating directly back into a form from a prior instance?
