Chip, I can’t say for sure why it’s happening- it frankly sounds like a bug. However, I may have a possible workaround- Explicitly type the listbox with ARRAY LONGINT(myListboxName;0) My suspicion is that the compiler just defaults to a data type of ARRAY REAL when it runs into a numeric array, and no one noticed that it improperly affects selection list boxes (until now). No idea if this will work or not, but worth a shot if you can’t figure out another workaround.
Good luck! DKC > On Apr 23, 2019, at 10:50 PM, Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > that is what I thought.... > I have a system I am getting ready to merge with engine.
