Searching in a combobox in a tabpanel...

I have a combobox in a tabpanel that has a value list attached.

The field the combobox is attached to is part of the parent form the tabpanel is on.

When I try to search on it, manually using find, it finds every record as the foundset and fills all the records with the value I was trying to find.

From then on until I quit Client, all values in that combo box will be filled with the value of what I was trying to find, no matter how many times I moved from browse to find mode with other searches.

Why is this happening especially when it all works perfectly in Developer.

We experienced this sort of troubles due to errors in calculated fields.
In our case the problem dissapeared after having eliminated all errors in calculated fields.

You DEFINATELY want to test for the validity of relations BEFORE you reference them in a calculation. DO NOT just assume the relation is valid.

INCORRECT:

relation.fieldname = value

CORRECT

if (relation)
{
  relation.fieldname = value
}

This is a common mistake that I see all the time. Eliminating these kinds of errors (in METHODS as well as calcs) will make things go MUCH smoother…

I shouldn’t have posted this in Methods.

I’m sorry you went to all the trouble in your reply’s.

My problem is a simple search, conducted on a related field in a tabpanel, will not yield the same search results (on the same field using the same search criteria) in Developer.

The related field has a value list associated with it.
