String box rejects input after built with App Builder

[altenbach]

Exactly as I said above:  😄

"Could it be it is an indicator instead of a control? (this distinction is easily lost when overusing local variables)"

So not only does the program suffer from localitis and sequenceitis, it also requires edit mode for part of the use. Aarghhhh!

Yet another argument against the overuse of local variables.

Edit: Altenbach beat me to it.

And I understand what the OP is going through. Dealing with old inherited code. I'm sure he knows by now that sequences and locals are not good answers. But refactoring the code is probably not an option at this point either.

It depends. How long does this code need to exist and what is the likelihood it will need to be modified. If the answer to the second is very likely it may very well be worth the investiment to refactor it and get more maintainable code as a result. Later you may find adding new features will only take a few hours or days as opposed to weeks with the old code. Not to mention the chance for bugs will be much greater when modifying the house of cards like the old code.
