Has anyone faced this problem before? What could be wrong? I experienced a similar problem when runinng 4GL 6.04UC1. The problem was, that if you entered the INPUT ARRAY all items were displayed reverse and after entering each field, it turned to normal. I solved this, by adding into the INPUT ARRAY: BEFORE INPUT DISPLAY BY NAME ... ATTRIBUTE (NORMAL) This works fine, as the change of attributes can not be seen by the user. I hope, this solves your problem. -- __ _______________ AMIGA /// /Roland Wintgen\\ fever/// /------ \\|/ ------\\ Goldregenweg 3, D-41844 Wegberg, GERMANY __ /// /------- o o -------\\ \\\\\\/// /-----oOO-(_)-OOo-----\\ e-mail: rolle@corona.oche.de (preferred) \\XX/ /-"The Invisible FREAK"-\\ roland.wintgen@t-online.de ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Be yourself, no matter what they say."
