I have a form with status messages for every field. When I run the form,
the status message is not shown for the first field (for all the other
fields it's OK). What's wrong?

Thanks for the answers.

Luc.

Hmmm... Don't know. Does it show if the first field loses focus and
then regains it?

You might try explicitly setting focus to it in the onOpen event of
the form.

I tried, but it doesn't seems to work. What's happens is that when a form is
opened the first field that received focus don't shows its status message.
After leaving the field and returning to the same field, it's OK.
Strange... Maybe a bug in Visual dBASE 7.x ?

Greetings,

Luc.

I will have a look some day. Is there anything specials on those ngs
(something we don't find here?)

I played with this a little, trying to see if I could duplicate it and
find a work around. I can duplicate it and don't see a work around.
The interesting part is that I can see the status message displayed as
the form is opening and then it disappears. It may well be a bug.

These groups (here) are almost deserted now. You will find much more
information on the dbase2000 groups. The groups here will cease to
exist very soon.
