>disclaimer - i can not reproduce this behavior. my client called me on the phone after the fact and discribed to me (in client sketchy terms) the behavior. when he reenter the app, he could not reproduce the behavior.

>adding a record. all textboxes are blank. he begins to type in the first field (name) and name autofills. (i believe it must be autofilling with the value at the record pointer, but i do not know this for sure). only name autofills, not all the textboxes. as he begins to type in street, street autofills. he first saw in on a modal form. he then went back to page1 on the toplevelform and tried to add. it happened there also. so it is not form (maybe toplevelform) or pageframe specific.

>do not know where to begin looking. any ideas.

adding a little more info. both places (page and modal form) where the client observed this autofill behavior have the following code in the add:

SELECT table
SCATTER MEMVAR MEMO BLANK

then the textboxes controlsource is the m. memmory field. so the record pointer is on another record (like i suspenct). but still how do those values get in the textbox. client has been texting for 6 weeks and has not seen this behavior before. so it is not something obvious (at least not to me)..
