Hello somewhere in between 4.2.1 and 4.2.3 the form-controls for grids (for original table and sub-forms) aswell as the table-viewer losts the focus to some of the fields and shows them as "0" only. Content is still there (in most cases) and reports seem to work, but data are not correct visible. This is somehow related to any changes of table-definition, whether in single or in a relation, when that happens, forms went corrupt. My guess, if you dont mind: This seem to be a problem of the table-structure, two systems are running at the same time, one with fieldnames and one using numbers to count field-offset in files. Second parts seem to be broken, which might explain list-control-problems too. you will find out. mh.
Could this be e duplicate of Bug67615? Have a look at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67615#c8, where I have described how to get it working again ...
right - looks similar I can not reproduce whether your advice is a solution, I gave it a try again with a fresh 4.2.3 portable, switched manually back to english: formerly corrupt files remain with 0's, I did a new odb working under 4.2.1 and that show fields correct. no clue, but that's it. m.
Don't know if I have understand right. Switching back to "English" for the GUI doesn't work? Try to open the source of the table-control for editing. The fields of the table are defined as Text[VARCHAR]. Now have a look at the Fieldproperties at the bottom of the tableeditor. The formatexample should show '@'. But sometimes it shows '0'. If it shows '0' here, it also shows '0' in the form, specially in the table-control of a form. Press the button with the three points. Change the language for this field. Change it back. Press OK. Now the '0' has gone and '@' appears. Open the form and have a look for this special field. The text would be shown. I will mark this bug as a duplicate of 67615. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 67615 ***
