Hmmm. I was hoping the Y" would disappear. The trick has worked for me sometimes. Other things I have done to get rid of this sort of thing (short of rebuilding the entire form) are:
OUTPUT form.dat UNLOAD DATA FOR sys_forms3 WHERE #1 = <your form name> OUTPUT SCREEN DROP FORM <your form name> RUN form.dat If that doesn't work, my next try is to delete and replace the offending dbedits. If THAT doesn't work, my hair turns grayer yet, and the air around me takes on a definite blue tinge. <G> --- William Owens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Albert > > null is set to -0- All the fields are defined as dbedit fields in my form I > open form in form desing mode and I'm not sure what you expected me to see. > Other fields are defined as dbedit and I only use the property tab to define > table and field name.
