RE: HOW TO PREVENT LINE DISAPPEARING WHEN CHARACTER IS TYPED Rae Drysdale 6/6/2007 5:28:01 PM Sounds like the form has not been set up as a form. Just an underline to show where to insert. Try switching on the OVR overtype and also use the underline when typing the date. Does this work for you? -- Rae Drysdale "LARRYB" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I HAVE A FORM THAT CALLS FOR A DATE TO BE TYPED.
