>Back when I was young and foolish, I entered the type of control (TextBox, Spinner, etc.) that I wanted to display for many of the fields in my tables rather than leaving them as

OK so far, but the Memo structure seems to be undocumented, and it holds the field comment and other things as well as some unprintable characters. I can make all the changes manually (returning TextBox to ) through MODI STRU but I really don’t want to even think about that.

Bob, after making a backup (or 2) of your DBC files, open the DBC as a table (USE MyDBC.DBC) and then use the STRTRAN() function to do a mass change.
