Hi everybody,

My colleague and I spent more than 4 hours today puzzling our heads on a very weird problem. He has a very complicated form with lots of business objects. There is a button on that form, which calls another form. That form is modal and it doesn't contain a biz. object. This form has a Default DS, so it shares DS of a calling form. This form has textbox controls bound to two views from the main form. Now, if we don't invoke that form, the main form behaves correctly. Once we invoke it and immediatelly close, it reports that something was changed.

The button just calls that form with DoForm('childform') command.

We found, that after we invoked the form, the GeFldState function returns 343333333433333333. The second 4 is a new primary key, so it's fine, but the 4 on the 10th position is unexplainable. That field is cState_Code and it was not touched any way. Moreover,
I put
scatter name loBefore
doform()
scatter name loAfter
=messagebox(compobj(loBefore, loAfter))
=messagebox(getfldstate(-1))

And compobj returns .t. while GetFldState reports a change on that field. The field is empty before and after and it is not null.

We're stumbled.

Do you have any explanation for that strange behavior?

Thanks a lot in advance.
