   Formatted memo 'property' change doesn't   
   20 Dec 06 23:59:38   
   
   From: jmose@mapson.attglobal.net   
      
   Greetings.   
      
   A simple form has a formatted memo field on it (among others).  If the field   
   already has text entered into it, I can highlight some text, right click   
   and choose Properties and adjust the font, etc.   
      
   Here's the problem - if I haven't changed any of the text, then the font   
   changes don't stick.  As soon as I leave the field, it returns to the old   
   font.   
      
   Here's the sequence of events (literally):   
      
   A. This didn't work - don't change any text, just highlight & change   
   properties:   
   1 class=DataAction action=3078 DataBeginEdit   
   2 class=EditAction action=2577 EditProperties   
   3 class=DataAction action=3080 DataLockRecord   
   4 class=EditAction action=2588 EditEnterMemoView   
   5 class=EditAction action=2598 EditPropertySheet   
   6 class=EditAction action=2588 EditEnterMemoView   
   7 class=DataAction action=3081 DataUnlockRecord   
      
      
   B. This works - type in a space, then highlight & change properties:   
   1 class=DataAction action=3078 DataBeginEdit   
   2 class=DataAction action=3080 DataLockRecord   
   3 class=EditAction action=2588 EditEnterMemoView   
   4 class=EditAction action=2577 EditProperties   
   5 class=EditAction action=2598 EditPropertySheet   
   6 class=EditAction action=2588 EditEnterMemoView   
   7 class=DataAction action=3081 DataUnlockRecord   
      
   The only difference is where EditProperties happens.  If it is before   
   DataLockRecord,   
   then my changes don't stick.  If after, then all is well.   
      
   Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?  Can anyone duplicate   
   it?  BTW, I'm using the latest Pdox 9  on XPhome.   
      
   Thanks,
