i will provide any combo properties information needed? i do not recall seeing your request. what properties do you need investigated?

Garth,
As wwThreads is a public forum, other FiC user would probably love to share this issue with you, and hopefully help you solve it.
Could you post your screenshots as Michele kindly indicated in the previous post of this thread?
Also, I asked you some specific questions about various combobox properties, could you investigate on that too?
Thank you
Thierry,
i will be emailing you screenshots which show the issues for a representative combo (control source = options.nfdiscine) in our options form. this is options form combo 2 on upper left labeled "Non-Fused Disconnect - Indoor, Evap".
you will see that the previously selected value for options.nfdiscine is in the options table. (great!)
you will see that the previously selected value for options.nfdiscine is displayed for this combo in the FiC debug screens. (great!)
you will see an empty array element displayed for this combo at the same instance in the browser. we hope that you can ascertain what is causing this discrepancy. there are no issues with options combo running in FiC LAN mode.
i will upload the addunit and option forms to your FTP site so that you have current ones.
Garth

http://foxincloud.com/images/ is just given as an example ("e.g." explicitely written)
please read the procedure from the beginning ...

sorry this is not making any sense to me ??? where is http://foxincloud.com/images? i do not know how to ftp screen shots except to established ftp used before.
thanks i will try the last ftp option.
here are steps to reproduce the issue.
1. on Login scren, click user name text to autofill login entries. click Login.
2. on Welcome scren, click Edit Project.
3. on Projects screen, click Factory project (or any project) in Projects grid (top). click any unit in Units grid (bottom). click Edit Unit. click Design tab. Click "Calculate Performance".
4. on Modelsselection screen click "Proceed with Selected Unit".
5. on Options screen, observe all combos are empty on every page if in Web mode. data saved it displayed in LAN mode. in Web mode, select one or more combos and chose non-empty array elements. in particular use the Non-Fused Disconnect combo, options.nfdiscine (page 1, upper left)) for easy reference.
click Continue. Click Options tab again, in LAN mode saved data is displayed again and in Web mode the options.nfdiscine combo is empty as are the other combos.
6. Click Save Selection on far left (off pageframem), this sequence completes the unit selection cycle. you can repeat steps 1-6 over and over.
i will attempt to upload the screen shots i have but i could not make one that shows when the empty data is choosen to be displayed. i tried but, it is too involved to track thru all the FiC code that needs to be prcessed to prepare the Options form for viewing in Web mode. i put a stop/flag on when the options.nfdiscine table value changes but this happens hundreds of times before the options form is actually launched. the combo array includes "240 V, 3 PH, 100 Amps" and a blank element. if you save "240 V, 3 PH, 100 Amps" in options.nfdiscine, "240 V, 3 PH, 100 Amps" is displayed in LAN mode but " " is displayed in Web mode. web mode may be displaying the empty array element, but why since the value saved is also in the array element list and LAN mode is not confused?

Also, please indicate exact steps to reproduce
yes, i have all screenshots but i do not know how to use my snipping tool to copy and paste them here into this posting. i tried everthing that made sense to accomplish this.
the saved options data apprears in the options combos in LAN mode, but the combos are empty on the options form in Web mode. if you close the options form, the saved data is still there (not empty).
the options form is set to the default data session. the checkboxes all work showing what values are saved and save any changes. everything on this form works in LAN mode.
the debugging trail through the FiC FAS code is very long, i spent over 15 minutw going throuht the FiC screen refresh_ followed by many more procedures. you have the source code. i will update your FTP site with the current source now.

don't get you ...
Any debugger screenshot?
yes, that is what i explained in: "the combo elements have the same string length as the associated option table value. the options table values are apparently discarded and replaced with nothing in the debugger going thru the FAS code."
Are you sure that the .Value selected exist in .RowSource (e.g. .waRowSource)?
we now that we are knocknig off the basic issue we are looking deeper.
on our options form we have over 40 combos with array rowsource. the form also has many check boxes.
when editing the form in FiC LAN mode, all data selected is saved in the options table and is displayed correctly on subsequent edits. in Web mode all saved combo values are displayed in the combo as empty on subsequent edits. all check boxes are displayed correctly in both LAN and Web modes.
the combo elements have the same string length as the associated option table value. the options table values are apparently discarded and replaced with nothing in the debugger going thru the FAS code.
