Karen:
If the form with the problems (lets call if form 2) is called from another form
(form 1), and their is a 'timer' on form1, when the timer goes off , the fields
on form2 will disappear. I had this happen recently.
Maybe you are having the same problem.

Not sure what you mean. The variables are null going into the form. User is
required to type something in both variables

Version 10.5. Client says this happens in a couple forms, but was sporadic.
Finally there's a form where the issue is easy to replicate so I have something
to work on.
Issue: if you type something in a variable edit field and are just sitting in
that field, if you wait about 30 seconds the text will disappear. The value of
the variable is truly null when you exit the form.
Specifics:
1. Form is based on a table brought up with "edit using" on just one row of
data. No processing is done before the form is brought up. Literally one line
of code in the main menu option.
2. In addition to table fields I have a variable edit and a variable memo.
Both variables are initialized to null on the form's before-start EEP, one is
text type and one is note type.
3. The disappearing happens on both of the variable fields. Whether you are
on the text edit or the memo edit, they will disappear. Only the one you are
on will disappear; if you had entered data in the other variable it sticks
around.
4. Entering text into a DB Edit field and sitting on that field will not
disappear.
5. Doesn't seem to be a case of memory build-up. If you go into the
application and this is the first thing you do, it will happen. Not just at
end of day, after another heavy process, etc.
Weird, huh? But I can replicate it every time on this one particular form
Because they often type long notes into that memo field, and they aren't fast
typists, they have been typing the notes in Word and then copy/paste into the
field and move off the field asap.
