FORM data loss

Just when I was putting the finishing touches on my first form with dBASE Plus it suddenly stopped placing about 95% of the text and entryfields on the form screen page when the form is run. Also, the design screen shows the same effect. I even had event
handlers that were working just fine.

I checked the source code from the command line and all the source code is still there and appears OK.

Has someone else had this happen? I am considering saving my source code and reloading dBASE Plus in an effort to get dBASE to recognize the source code again.

I would appreciate any comments.

Thanks

Norman

I apologize for not noticing the zero heights before I sent the request for help.

Thanks anyway,
