Text Field not recording data

ivanlotter

Hi,

We have a text field in the Purchase Header table which isn't on the Purchase form. When I create a new Text Box and make the SourceExpr this text field it doesn't want to record new data that I type on the form. It does however record data that I insert via the Table in the Object Designer.

Is there a property that I need to set.

Thanks
Ivan

To add a new Text field in the form you may :
a. Click View > Field Menu. Highlight the field and click in the form.
b. Add a Textbox, then change your source expression with Rec.Fieldname

Double check if there is a variable the same with the field name defined in the form.

No.
Maybe there's a filter on that field which make the record 'disappear' when you fill the field?

You can try to add the field on the form by using Field Menu. Maybe that makes a difference.

Thanks selecting the field from the Field Menu button worked.
