DDDW Datacolumn showing instead of Displaycolumn

[neilthomas2]

Under some circumstances (which I havn't tied down yet) a perfectly normal DDDW starts displaying the Datacolumn instead of the Displaycolumn.

Has anybody experienced anything similar?

Yes, The only way I have found to fix this is to change the DDDW that you are selecting in the dropdown, change both display and data values in the dropdown, save, close, open it again and set it back to the correct DDDW, display and datavalue.

If this doesn't work, sometimes I have to export the datawindow and look at the source code. Some times PB seems to get confused on columns and IDs.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Also, FILTERING your dddw at runtime may display the DATA values instead of display values if it does not have the DISPLAY values in its Primary! buffer.
