EDIT USING is the only way I use forms and I don't have issues. What do the
variables do? Do you need them after exiting the form?The fact it happens after
30 seconds would appear to indicate there might be a timer that refreshes the
form every 30 seconds, and if the variable has not been saved it might reset it
to the original, unchanged value.In the old days we used to place a dummy field
behind the last variable to provide a landing spot as was mentioned.If the form
is doing an auto save, there is a system variable you can check to see if there
are pending changes and stop the save and return to the variable field with a
message.Javier Valencia, PESent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

Karen:Another thought......If you are using just variables on a form,
the last variable field will need to have another 'dummy field as the form need
a 'landing'.for the cursor (even if not used). I do this all the time with
variable forms, set up a dummy variable field, that the screen never gets to
after the last variable field.. Base your exit or return after the field is
entered.Jim

Subject [RBASE-L] - Disappearing text
Version 10.5. Client says this happens in a couple forms, but was sporadic.
Finally there's a form where the issue is easy to replicate so I have something
to work on.Issue: if you type something in a variable edit field and are just
sitting in that field, if you wait about 30 seconds the text will disappear.
The value of the variable is truly null when you exit the form.Specifics: 1.
Form is based on a table brought up with "edit using" on just one row of data.
No processing is done before the form is brought up. Literally one line of
code in the main menu option.2. In addition to table fields I have a variable
edit and a variable memo. Both variables are initialized to null on the form's
before-start EEP, one is text type and one is note type.3. The disappearing
happens on both of the variable fields. Whether you are on the text edit or
the memo edit, they will disappear. Only the one you are on will disappear; if
you had entered data in the other variable it sticks around.4. Entering text
into a DB Edit field and sitting on that field will not disappear.5. Doesn't
seem to be a case of memory build-up. If you go into the application and this
is the first thing you do, it will happen. Not just at end of day, after
another heavy process, etc.Weird, huh? But I can replicate it every time on
this one particular form Because they often type long notes into that memo
field, and they aren't fast typists, they have been typing the notes in Word
and then copy/paste into the field and move off the field asap.Karen
