Well Al... it appears you did it again.
I renamed the two FOXUSER* files to something else, and so far... no more blanking out of the forms.

I don't know the significance of these FOXUSER files, but so far running the app hasn't recreated the FOXUSER files.
I've checked some of my other apps, and I notice that some of them have the two FOXUSER files and some don't.

So, do we actually need those files?

Thanks Al for your continued help...and thanks to Jos and MIchael for your interest.
