This form was created freshly, NOT by using SAVE AS from another form. This problem started a considerable time after the form was initially created.

In some cases (not mine), this seems to be caused by Combobox or Spinner controls on Page 1 of a pageframe on the form. Please see Bruce Campbell's earlier replies.

>Hi Al,

>>I then re-opened the form, made tiny edits to all custom methods and saved it (idea was to force VFP to rebuild the object code for the methods in case some got corrupted). Rebuilt my app and ran it. Form now opens OK. However, when it is edited, it still asks to save even if no changes are made.

>>Why not ignore this problem, you ask? The last time I did, the form (a different one) went seriously south on me and I lost it all (9-page pageframe, 170 fields, etc.)

>>Is this a sign of incipient disaster in the form? If so, can anything be done? I'm happy digging in the .SCX/.SCT if that's what it takes.

>>Environment: VFP 5.0a build 415, under NT 3.51 SP5
