SYMPTOMS

If you modify the ForeColor property of an EditBox control (memo field) in a Wizard-created form, the ForeColor change does not appear when you run the form.

  2. Select the BUTTONSET1 object HasMemo property.

  3. Notice that the value is .T., secondary-mouse click on the HasMemo property, and select "Reset to Default." Ensure that the value is set to .F.

  4. Save and run form.

  5. Click Edit. Notice that the EditBox ForeColor is red.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
