Thanks Chuck,
The Rbase development team sent me an
email two days ago saying that they’re found a bug and will fix it in the
next patch file. I hope that’s soon!
Thanks again for your assistance,

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Forms
problem
I have the same problem in converted forms. I got
around it by using saverow and then
'GetProperty <CID> Textvalue 'vCheckIfNul
' and checking if vCheckIfNull
is null. If it is null, I use the Property <CID> Textvalue
'vDefualt' to set the default value. Kind of a PIA when default values works so
well in 6.5++.
I
figured that I just didn't understand how and when 7.X calculates form
and global variables until I read your post. If anyone can explain the
exact order and how variables / default variables calculate I would
appreciate it.
Thanks
to everyone for their comments. I have checked each of your comments
against what I have done and it doesn't work.
However, if I create a new
form it works perfectly.... I'll contact the
developers now with a
documented bug and see what happens.
Thanks again everyone!

Two more things
1. Make sure you're not testing your results while
you are in the Forms
Design mode - your data is
"read-only" until you save the form and test it
from outside the designer.
2. The default value only kicks in when you
ENTER USING the form or you
EDIT USING and ADD a new row.

If the field is of type DATE, you do NOT need (and
should not use) a format
mask on the field. R:Base will format the
field according to the current
date
settings.
If the field is of type TEXT (suitable for
masking), then I don't know if
you
can use a date value for the default.
