Michael It sounds like you have left the default "Autosize" option checked off. Uncheck it, size the field manually to the widest size you could ever need and see if that helps.

Hi All, I creating a computed variable to be placed in a scrolling region of a form. The variables are defined as "Variable Label" as no editing is desired and this control seems to allow closer placement of the data. The two variables are: v1 = ((ctxt(qtotal)) & 'of' & (ctxt(FRQTotal)) & FRunSet) v2 = (format(FRSpQ,'999.0')) both variables calculate correctly for all rows however With v1 the length of the variable in all the rows is adjusted to the length of the variable in the selected row. If the variable in the selected row is short, variable contents displayed in all the rows is truncated to the length of the text in the current row. With v2 the selected row shows the number to the proper 10ths. All other rows show the period but no tenths. When another row is selected, it now shows tenths and the previous row does not. It does not seem to matter if the actual number is of the form xx.x or x.x the results are the same. I have not found a setting like "Keep variable length constant" so I am not sure how to resolve this. Any suggestions?
