I swear that Alpha5 has contacted a VIRUS that has proliferated itself into every other application on my PC. Last week I copied a large Application from a new Client (they are on A5v4 build 230). As soon as I went to form design, I noticed that the grid spacing was set to .05. That is just too small and drives me crazy looking at it. Yeah, I know it�s just a short trip as it is.
I tried to change it to the default (I think it�s .0625). Went to form design, clicked Form/grid. The Grid Property Box popped up, I tried changing the size using the �spin controls� � they didn�t do anything. I used the cursor & selected the 0.0500, could not enter anything. I tried to delete the current setting, again I was foiled. I thought that was strange so tried another form, same results. So decided to accept the fact it was not going to change. Make the Form changes, saved it and went on.
I then opened an existing application. Went to form design and immediately saw that the grid had been set to .0500. Closed that app. & opened another that I had not touched for 5 or 6 months. It too had the Grid set to .0500.
Went to my laptop (I had already copied the new application to it). Every application on the laptop was also using Grid of .0500.
It�s as though the new app. had somehow set the Grid properties of every single application to the minimum Grid size. I know Selwyn always uses the Samples send with Alpha 5 so I tried form design in the Samples � same problem!
Now for the real surprise, I deleted the nefarious app. from my Laptop. Opened an existing application & the Grid spacing was back to normal! Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a Global Alpha Setting �Drive Developer Crazy?�?
