I have a form with one canvas and several tab pages. On one of the tab's i have only one item. On this item i have a KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger that makes a call to CALL_FORM(new_form).
The new form appears, the calling form is hidden (ok, this is the default action of the call_form). I close the called form and the old form reappears (ok). The item on the old form on the tab does not show its containts. But there is something in the item because if i make some keystrokes, the items gets filled to the maximum.
item maximum length = 4
before the call_form, contents = 'ABC'
after the call_form, contents = ''
if i type 'ABC', only the first A appears, on the B and C Forms beeps. If a hit the Del key, i can enter another character.
