>Add in the Init of the form after Thisform.AddObject('ctbox1','TBOXyes')
>Thisform.cbox1.value = mgooddate
This seems to have no effect unfortunately. unless I quit vfp or do a "clear all", the same value still keeps appearing.

Problem is after I enter a new value, it gets saved to the mem variable ok but when I run the prg immediately afterward, the old value keeps appearing in the textbox.
