why are some values light blue

[RtWee]

Hi

I'am using paradox 8 and noticed that some of the values are represented in a light blue color while all the others are 'normal' black. Anyone got an idea how/why this is ?
I can not find anything unussual.

If you click on one of those values, does your e-mail program or Web browser start by chance?

Fields that contain the '@' symbol are interpretted by Paradox as being e-mail addresses or site URLs.

If that isn't it, is there a pattern to which fields are different color?

It may be that a 'data dependent' format has been applied. Right-click on the field, and select 'Data Dependent'. Select the setting that appears to reflect the setting you are seeing and then 'Remove'.

If neither are your situation, let us know. And in that case, is this directly looking at the table or in a form?

Neither is the situation


I am looking directly to the table,
it is very weird I cannot find anything different compared to the other cells, I also cannot change the color of those cells, it's like they are protected or something

OK. So, no '@' symbol.

With that table open and the cursor on that field, go to Format | Properties

Is 'Delete' available to click on? If so, click on it and then see if you still have the same view.

Just realze that if you 'delete', the settings are gone. You'd have to figure out what the settings were in order to restore them.

delete is not available on the blue cells nor on all the other cells

Can you paste one of the fields' data here that is hilited in blue?

Better, 4-5 that are hilited....
