Razzak: I love the Table / Display Format, use it all the time for DB Edit controls, but I just tried it again thinking I missed something -- variable edit controls are not listed. Are you thinking of adding this as an enhancement?

However ... The powerful feature of customizing "Display Format" within the form designer is the preferred solution without mucking with the actual data type and formats, etc. Having that eXclusive feature in R:BASE Form Designer, now you can run R:BASE your way!
