>I recently moved a 2.6 app to VFP5. I had to change a few window sizes, but all seemed well until I noticed that some fields displayed with @... GET were not showing up with all characters displayed, regardless of the PICT clause. The correct values are in the mvar, so it's just a display problem. This only manifests when running the .exe version of the system. When running under the full VFP environment everything looks fine.

>I managed to find that I can work around the problem by adding a SIZE clause to the GET statement and making the width a little bigger than should be necessary (for an 8 character mvar I use a width of 10), but I would like to avoid going through the entire app and patching each GET. Has anyone heard of this? Is there an easier workaround?


Could be due to the difference between Foxels, which are used in FPW and Pixels, which are used in VFP. I'm not aware of any way to make things easier for you.
