Linda,

>I'm having trouble editing string fields. If the field is empty when the dataset is loaded, it doesn't allow any value to be entered. If it has a value, it won't allow anything longer than it's current value to be entered. What have I missed? I checked and the maximum length is set to over 32,000. It FoxPro, the field is char, length of 50.

Try setting the text box's AutoSetEnabled property to false.

Best Regards,
