  Ted, I can't seem to get my images attached here, so I'll email you directly. Rolf  

Ted, I think maybe you've misunderstood my problem.  I also see both label and field names in the designer, but the field names are incorrect.  They are supposed to be the actual field names from the associated table, but instead are a repeat of the label name. I believe in your screen shot it shows the problem, because the field ...

Using the tab key to advance between fields works fine when not making changes, or if one types a date into the date field.  However, if I use the mouse to pick the date, then the cursor disappears and restarts at the top of the screen on the next tab. Am I missing something here, or is this how it's supposed to work?  If so, can it ...

I've noticed that method designer is now not displaying the actual field names anymore, and instead is displaying the label names where the field names used to be.  I now have to do a show summary and look at the data bindings to see what the field names are. This is extremely awkward when customizing screens, and I'm wondering when ...

Hi Chad, Thanks for the quick replies.  Unfortunately, in my example, Today is a valid choice, but not always what I want, so I have my own workaround for this.   Rolf  

I have a date field which has associated actions upon change of date. Initially, the field is blank, and as soon as I click on the date selection arrow, it autofills with todays date. That triggers the actions for change of date.  Is there any way to stop the autofilling of todays date when the field is initially blank?   thanks, Rolf

Additional info to help in debugging:   Hitting the refresh button (which resets the screen active record ID)  casues the screen to populate and things appeared  to work correctly. Therefore, I inserted a Refresh as the first line of the ONScreenLoad, and then when selecting a customer in the contacts list, the Edit Customer ...

IFurther testing has revealed that although the screen fields are not populated, the grids contained on the screen all show the 'Loading grid...' message.  If I hit the grid refresh symbol, then the grid refreshes with the correct information for the chosen customer.  i.e.  Going to the Contacts tab and refresing the ...

Since last posting I've tried the following to debug this problem: Changed the Customer>Edit Customer tab link to a different Edit Customer screen.  That screen works properly. Copied the problem Edit Customer screen and linked to the copy.   The same error occurs. Inserted a 'Stop processing more actions'  ...

After making a minor change to my custom Edit Customer screen, I am now getting cryptic error messages when I try to open the screen from the Customer list.  The screen loads but does not populate with any customer or contact data, and I get the message:   Message An Unexpected Error Occurred. Please reload the screen and try ...
