I can give you all the lines of code for problem 2.  I still have
not figured out exactly where the error is on problem 1.  I see one 
on power up and after many operaionts.

But problem 2 is easy to show:  Basically I have a form with a field 
where a number is displayed in the field.  When the number of digits 
goes from 1 to 2 or 2 to 1 there is an "invalid field length" error.  
If I go from 2 to 2 or 1 to 1, there is no error.  

The field is non editable and initial size set to 10.  All I do is
determine the number and convert it to a string.  I then call
a function and pass the pointer to the string.  The string is a 
global array, so it has global life.

The function that does the conversion:

    StrIToA(curBtnStr, fmod(btn,12) + 1);
    SetFieldText(fldBtn, curBtnStr);

Here is the function call that I use to set the field text:

void SetFieldText(Word id, char *s) {
    FormPtr frmp;
    FieldPtr fldp;
    FieldAttrType fa;

    frmp=FrmGetActiveForm();
    fldp=FrmGetObjectPtr(frmp, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmp, id));
    FldGetAttributes(fldp, &fa);

    if (fa.editable == TRUE){
        FldDelete(fldp, 0, FldGetTextLength(fldp));
        FldInsert(fldp, s, StrLen(s));
    }
    else{
        FldSetSelection(fldp, 0,0);     // clear selections
        FldSetTextPtr(fldp, s);
    }
    FldDrawField(fldp);
}

That is the entire code.  If I comment out the SetFieldText(), there 
is no error (obviously).  But I don't see any problem with this 
method of writing text to a field.  I do this many other places 
without problems.

Any clues?
