Karen,
Sometimes I don't ask why. There have been times that I have copied a component
to a new form and it didn't work but
if I create a new object and make all the properties identical the new one
works.
If the copied components work just open 2 instances of the form, loosoo all the
components and copy them to the new
form. Pretty quick.

Hadn't tried that. I made the field double the height but it still won't
display the data until I tab into the field. Very strange.

Karen,
Just out of curiosity have you tried making the fields a little taller?

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Converted form problem
I converted a big form from Windows 6.5. The color of the edit fields
was white font on top of a dark colored background. I clicked all the edit
fields and made the font black and the background color white. I
double-checked and all the fields show the correct settings.
But no data is displayed in the field until I actually tab INTO the
field! Then it appears and stays there when I leave. I located a new field in
the form, and the same thing happened. However, I created a brand new form,
located a couple of the fields and they work okay. And if I copy fields from
the converted form into the new form it works okay.
I'd prefer not to copy fields so I'm just wondering if there's a form
setting that I'm missing. Any clues?
Karen
