Karen:
Thank you. You and Buddy are spot-on with RECALC VAR.
I suppose it helps that I NOT type RECALC VARS, which is why the mystery
persisted beyond reason yesterday.
So, uh, I need to tighten my game. Apologies.
As for Forms of any stripe, I'm late to the party. But I like the idea,
certainly in this early experimentation period, of total flexibility in
inputting, until I have half a clue as to what I'm doing.
Always appreciate your help and experience, Bruce

Bruce: I do something like what you want, but with one difference.
I design "search" forms all the time where there's a bunch of variable
edits. Users type in values and it displays a grid with results of the
search.
I always put a "new search" button on the form that clears all those
variables so the user can type in a new search. All those variable
edit fields are now blank. This is the exact code from the button:
SET VAR vSBLNo INT = NULL, vSPick INT = NULL, vBLWhere TEXT = 'LIMIT =
0', +
vSTranDate1 DATE = NULL, vSTranDate2 DATE = NULL, vSAcctNo INT =
NULL, +
vCAcctNo INT = NULL
RECALC VAR
I've never had this NOT work.
The difference: don't ask me why, but I have never used a "variable
form". Never. I always bind the form to a table, usually a
"FormDummy" table that has a couple useless rows.

Thank you, Buddy. On closer inspection, after I sent my message, I
TRACED the variable subset as its values were NULLed just before the
SETFOCUS.
The RECALC VAR has no effect on this:
What is in fact happening is that the DISPLAY of those variable values
is not being cleared from their Variable Edit controls during the
rotation.
But when I Tab away from the first control in the Tab Order [a Variable
Radio Group - one of the retained values ], the VE controls for the
NULLed variables go blank, as intended.
So the real question is: How does one blank the display of now-NULLed
previous values within their associated controls?
Much appreciated!

Have you tried RECALC VAR after settling them to null and before the
setfocus

Fairly new to Forms.
A Variable Form provides values to an On Click EEP in a Bit Button.
The EEP succeeds at its tasks, then returns FOCUS to the first
control in the Form's Tab Order, as intended.
One subset of variable values survive the rotation, as intended. A
second subset of variable values must be NULLed during the rotation,
so that their associated controls are blank when the Form reappears.
I've failed to clear this latter group of values, variably using
CLEAR VAR and SET VAR = NULL commands:
(a) ahead of the SETFOCUS at the tail end of the Bit Button's On
Click EEP;
(b) in the Bit Button's On Exit EEP;
(c) in the On After Start EEP of the form itself.
It's gottta be something basic.
What is the established procedure for clearing a subset of variable
values when rotating directly back into a form from a prior instance?
