If textboxes bound to table/cursor, use '? eof()'. If it shows '.T.' - thats the source of problem. Textboxes disabled automatically in VFP when the control source alias have 'eof()'.

>I have a form with textboxes, checkboxes, comboboxes, editboxes on it. When I run the EXE for that app and press the Edit button and go to that form, it enables all the boxes on the form as it should.

>But when I run a different EXE and call the EXE that has that same form in it and go into Edit mode based upon a saved value in a record, the boxes on the form are not enabled. They should be enabled as if I had pressed the Edit button on the form.

>I put " ? gcEditSW " followed by WAIT WINDOW so I could see that the code to enable the boxes on the form was running. I placed that same command throughout my form and saw the gcEditSW = 1 as it should when I want to enable the boxes on the form, but they are enabled when I come into the form from another EXE rather than the EXE that I have the problem form in.

>Any ideas? I can't see why the form's boxes enable in the one case and not the other. The code is the same as far as I can tell. Thanks for helping. I don't see anything wrong. Weird...
