Guys:
I hope this is a simple problem, but it's sure eluding me...
It's a field-rule lookup - no filters... inserts the values of three fields on an invoice set in items as one-to-many. The default form works as advertised but a simple three-field custom form will not. The lookup table has no field rules. Keep in mind that I've done many such set and lookups with custom lookup forms with success in the past.
This is item number, description, and price. One can add-on-the-fly - one item, however, when the need for a second add-on-the-fly occurs, the description field [60 characters] takes the keystrokes piling the letters on top of each other and the cursor does not move past the first character position. It all hangs and ctrl-alt-del is the only way to recover using the 'end task' button. A latent 'bad object handle' message blinks under Alpha's main screen after it dissapears. Of course I database-compact, pack, and all that other stuff with relentless regularity during developement. I've even deleted and rebuilt the custom for at least 4 times.
The formatting for that field is 60 characters. No form events or buttons. I'd search the messageboard, but have no idea how to put this in a few words. [obviously]
TIA
