I created a form in which I am concatenating multiple text and note
fields into one field.

I had it working then sometime over the weekend one var started giving
me odd information.

I will try to be brief but thorough. In the expression builder I create
the following variables.

 

vshort = (SHORTAGES MUST BE NOTED ON BILL OF LADING AND REPORTED TO
DRIVER IMMEDIATELY)

vshipnotes = (shipnotes) This is the variable that is causing the
problem.  It is based on the field shipnotes.

(Others are created in the builder)

 

I combine these two var along with two others to create a variable that
loads into a field BOLNotes.

 

When I trace the form, here is what happens.  

1) Upon bringing up the proper order, the vshipnotes var shows with the
proper information when I watch the variable.

2) The minute I go through the next lookup var, it is blank and the
field that should show the shipnotes, shows only (MEMO) in the field.

3) Somewhere the var "picks up" some strange information (it varies with
each order) and puts it into the combined var where the vshipnotes
variable should be though the vshipnotes var itself still shows blank.

4) When I get to my last variable that combines everything and saves the
row, the combined var shows all the proper info EXCEPT it has the
strange info instead of the vshipnotes var info.

5) The minute I save the row on that last var, the proper info
repopulates the vshipnotes variable but of course the combined var
already has the junk info.

 

I am stumped. Using the latest 7.6.
