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.

(dBASE Users Function Library Project)  This contains about 1000 pieces of useful code which have been shared by users over the years.  Life it too sort to have to continually re-invent the wheel. :-)   Instructions on how to install the library are on the website. The tutorial is designed to take you from the absolute basics to more advanced features in a structured manner.  The more you learn, the fewer questions you will need to ask.  You will, of course, still always be able to get help here if you do get stuck. The wizards are like training wheels on a bicycle.  They serve a useful purpose but the sooner you get rid of them the sooner you learn to ride the bicycle properly. :-) Mervyn.
