I'll second Rachael's endorsement of V8 for that same reason. Although I'm not in a position to dictate system-wide do it the RB-Way, even if the long-term R:Dough (Thanks, Dan) would be less than the outlay of M$ (M'Dollars, and any implied expletives associated with M$ ...), it is really nice to hit Oracle/SQLServer DB's and not have to fool with renaming/aliasing tables and/or fields.
You know, it's also somehow revealing to see how others name (mis-name?) their database components. I often pause to ask myself, rhetorically, "What were they thinking?" That's rhetorical because I've already answered my Q with "Probably, not much." Well, I digress when I should once again say that I think RB, especially V8, is R:eally cool.

Maybe download the eval, copy your database, and see if it still happens. If it works okay then you should spend some R:Dough and get the upgrade. There are many enhancements and bug fixes that will make it worth your while.

Seems to only affect forms with a scrolling region. Basically the forms were built on another machine, and work perfectly. If you enter or edit using (formname) on this machine, they work perfectly. But if you edit the form in form designer, this is what happens. Open the form for work on it, and it is fine, close with out changes, no problem. But if you make any changes, when you re-open the form in designer , or enter or edit using, all the fields that were in the scrolling region are now located at the top of the form. If you look at the tab order, they now all show up outside of the region. This is happening with every form that contains a scrolling region, and only on this 1 machine. I have reloaded, updated with latest update and checked for RBEngine problems. It is very strange. Guess I can't work on a form on this machine till I figure it out. Dick Fey Carpet Broker Inc.
