I just noticed this. I do not know how long it has been the
case, but suspect I changed something that has had this effect.

My textboxes will only accept five digits with a .format of
"999999". The cursor starts at what I consider the second character,
and I can enter only five digits. Oddly, compared with a
character-type control, the first character is narrower than the
others despite that I use a fixed-width font. Both types of controls
are instantiated in the same code.

I have tried deleting my foxuser.* files.

Any ideas?

Sincerely,

I see that if I have MaxLength set to 5 and Alignment set to Right.

I found that some of my controls were working right. It turns
out, with at least two of the malfunctioning controls, I assigned the
value for .inputmask to .format. Correcting the misassignment solved
the problem in one of these. I expect it will for the rest, too.

I do wish that VFP had thrown an error instead of letting it go.
