Open form scx file manually, go to record #56 (GO 56) and check carefully all fields until you will see something suspicious, fix it right here (
make backup first)
>2) Can I put something like "alltrim(field1) + ' ' + field2" (minus quotes) into a text box or do I need another type of control to display this?
You can, but label.caption=... is better here (if you are not going to change this control.value interactively.
>3) In my grids, I'll set a Column's CurrentControl to a dropbox that I've created, saved the form and run it. Fine. But frequently when I return to modify the form, the currentcontrol returns to "Text". Any clues why?
It's confirmed bug (for the case of pageframe with grids on some pages). You can avoid it deleting textboxes from appropriate columns (if you use Sparse=.f.).
