Continuous form form header issues

[cruz610]

I have several fixed controls in the form header part of a continuous form. The problem is when I am entering values into a new section in the continuous form, the values in the fixed controls disappear. They reappear if i go to something that has already been entered in the continuous form. This is very wierd, its more of a quirk than anything I have noticed, but it would be nice to know if there is a way to fix it! Thanks

Do you have the fixed control's data control source equal to a control in the continuous form? If so, each time you're on that control in a new record, the fixed control will be blank. The following example has Text6 as a fixed control - it will show the current container from the form, but if I'm on a new record or one with a blank container then the control will still show the last value.

Example:
Text6 = fixed, value of current record container control

Private Sub header_bc_GotFocus()
If IsNull(Me.Container) Then
Exit Sub
Else
Me.Text6 = Me.Container
End If

End Sub

If this doesn't help, please give me an example of what you're looking for & I'll try to help you out.
