Subject Re: Wizard generated form - data input From Heinz Kesting <Nobody@Nowhere.com> Date Sun, 17 Mar 2019 01:06:38 +0100 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi Kent, > I am new to DBase. All of my forms have a huge problem with the data input fields. They are not disabled, but when I select any input field, the text cursor moves to the left end of the field. When I type in the field, no characters are typed in the field, any of the form fields! > > > I have re-installed, created the table and form, all with the same result. Same with a custom form. What in the world is going on? > I assume your entryfields are datalinked, since you mention tables that you created. Does this behaviour change when you remove the datalink from one field, for example? A simple reason could be, that if you have only just created the table without adding a row afterwards, then you would need to issue a rowset.beginAppend() in your form before you can enter any data. That would explain this behaviour perfectly. Anyway, you should provide some more information, like: What tables / databases you are working with, DBF or SQL-databases, like Firebird or MySQL? Is the form's rowset read-only? If your table already contains data - are the field values displayed in the (datalinked?) fields? Can you show the code of the form and the structure of the table in question? Kind regards, Heinz
