David I am struggling
with this to.! Should it be a dotted, an ampersand or a non_dotted vintVar? My
logic tells a dotted .vIntVar. But I am still using other workaround for this
so I would like to get it working straight on

Re: Using Property command on integer field
Mike:
I finally got around to trying this and it still doesn't work. I am
unable
to use a PROPERTY ... TEXTVALUE command to "null out" a DBEdit
that is based on an Integer column. It ignores TEXTVALUE '',
TEXTVALUE ' ', your (char(160))... It will only put an actual value
in
there, such as a '0', but this breaks a constraint I have on the field.
Has anyone been able to null out an integer DBEdit on an integer
field? Razzak, should we be able to do this?
Karen
SET VAR vsp = (CHAR(160))
PROPERTY dbedummy set_focus 'TRUE'
PROPERTY dbedummy textvalue .vsp
RETURN
