Missy,

The SET TALK command is scoped to the datasession. This means that if the form has a private datasession, set talk will default to ON, unless you do something to change that.

SET TALK ON can cause items on a form to creep in certain situations (the .left and .top properties don't change in this scenario).

I would suggest putting in the form's load method:

SET TALK ON
dodefault()

>Thanks but I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say it's scoped to the current data session. I already have a SET TALK OFF command issued. I tried inserting the same command in the INIT event of the data environment, but that didn't work either. It's odd, because it's not happening on those screen that display information from multiple tables. The one that caught my eye is a simple screen w/3 labels and text fields.
