One more quick question before I embarrass myself and make it a feature request ![:-)]( "Smile") Is there a way to vertically control the alignment of text? For instance, in a large text box I want text to begin at the top and not the bottom. If there’s a way to do this it escapes me. ---

If you’re using a label - then it’s the “verticalAlignment” property. A FIELD will ALWAYS start at the top. ---

Unfortunately it doesn’t start at the top for a number of my text fields. Is this a possible bug on Mac OS X 10.4.9 using MySQL 5.x as the repository? ---

Can you post a small screen shot? Did you check the MARGINS on the field (or your style)?
