This is only a guess but I think you getting an error makes all bets are off on the rest of your scenario. Figure out the error first and then see if you get the expected results on the colors.

I have a DBEdit field, RPDYEAR, TEXT 4, whose color is white and whose background color is gray when it has the focus. The Component ID for this field is FORM_RPDYEAR. I have an On Exit EEP for the field RPDYEAR that says: set var vtemp text = null getproperty form_rpdyear textvalue "vtemp" if vtemp <> "2009" then pause 1 using "Invalid value" skip 0 (or property form_rpdyear set_focus "true") endif return -- When you tab to that field initially, it becomes gray when it gets the focus. -- When you tab out of that field, it returns to color white. -- If you are in the field and delete the value and hit <enter>, you will get the message "Invalid value"; and if you THEN enter "2008" (or some other value not equal to 2009) and hit <enter>, the field SHOULD change back to white when the cursor goes to the next field; but it remains gray - the background color when the field has the focus -- even though the field no longer has the focus. Does anyone know a work-around or is this just a bug in 7.6/Turbo 8? The background color only stays "stuck" if I use a SKIP 0 (or the set_focus property) in my Exit EEP; and it happens on any form I try it on so I know it's not just this form or field.
