I use the formatting trick in A97 to simulate conditional formatting
in continuous forms. It has, up to this point, worked fine. Today I
was making some design changes to the parent form (the continuous form
is a sub form within this parent form) when the formatting trick I was
using stopped working.
What's happening is that the character I use to 'block over' fields
and make them appear to be invisible stopped displaying a solid bar
and starting actually showing the underlying character. The character
I have been using for years (with no prior problems) is the Û
character. When displayed in a form in A97 (during run time) it shows
up as a solid block, but today it stopped doing that and displays the
actual character rather than the block. I haven't the foggiest idea
why.
Below is a sample of the actual formatting characters. This appears in
several locations and stopped working in all of that forms controls,
so it's not like I made a change to one of them.

Actually, after looking closer at it, I did change the font. It was
changed from Tahoma to Arial. I forgot I did that. In any case, the
symbol should work for both fonts. I tried changing it back to Tahoma
and it still is displaying the Û character rather than a solid block.

Thanks for the tips on the decompile and refresh of the application.
It did not solve this particular problem, but in reading the linked
artical the decompile may solve other problems I was having.

I'm not sure about either font. Terminal is one that's good for

I have an A2000 database in which I have a continuous form with a tick

colour.
In A2000 it works great, but in A2003 the background doesn't always
change and when it does it only changes when the record looses the
focus.
Any way around this? Is it a bug? Or have they "improved" it?

Does anyone know a way you can use conditional formatting to create a banded
style view as is commonly seen on the internet. (In othe words the first
record appears on a gray background, the 2nd on white, the third on gray etc
etc.) I could write an expression based on the odd/even status of the
primary key but this wont work when sorting and filtering is applied.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
