The issue is that there are about 16 controls on a container, they are initialized from a table record thus their values at activate time generally are not trivial default.

• Omid Bayani VFP 6 Table designer field length discrepancy

  I have a table with 51 fields and the table designer tells me there are 51 fields with a record length of 999. However, display structure shows 51 fields and gives a total length of 1,003. If I add the individual field lengths together, this comes to 998. I believe a single character is used for the delete character so 999 would seem to be correct. However, another application I am using (PReS from Printsoft) only accepts the data when I s ...Show All
