It sounds like it could be bug #46677: --------------------------------------------------- Short Description --------- [IF IN A FIELD ON A FORM WITH REVERSE ATTRIBUTE THEN USE ON KEY TO DISPLAY ] [ANOTHER FORM AND RETURN THE REVERSE ATTRIBUTE WILL BE LOST ] --------------------------------------------------- Long Description ---------- [If in a input field on a form that has a reverse attribute then ] [call another form using the on key statement, then close this ] [form, on return to the first form the field the cursor was in ] [will lose it's reverse attribute. When you then tab out of this ] [field the reverse attribute returns. ] There is no fix yet for this bug. You might be able to get it escalated through your support entity (I don't know who that is in Italy; perhaps the Rome or Milan office can direct you). >Thanks in advance >Pierluigi "PIGI" Frullani >Frumar srl >pigi@frumar.it -- (c) 1996 Alan Denney aland@informix.com Disclaimer: Sender under influence of 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine "Lawyers use numbers like a drunk uses a lamppost: for *support*, rather than *illumination*." -- J.
