I have a command file that is called whenever I start
R:Base - even just to
go to the R:> - that sets up any temp tables that forms are
based on and any
variables that are needed. In theory, this gets updated
whenever I make a
change that is intended to be permanent (but not for ad hoc
queries and
while testing). Like the forms, I'll double check it.
---------------------------------------------------
My comment was not clear. And deleting the
variable, then saving and closing the form, re-typing the
variable, and putting it back on the form will not change
the datatype.
You have to right click on the variable, select
properties/add, edit variables/highlight the variable, and
change the Variable Type.
Once the form thinks a variable has a certain type,
you have to change that data-type by editing the form
variable.

PS. I 'never' save a file without running R:Style.
