Money element left aligning when Read Only (Read 1127 times)

	I have a money element on my Invoice form, Breakout_Total, which is read only-not grayed out. It is populated when money amounts are entered in any of 6 other money elements. The value totals and reads correctly except that the amount, unlike the other 6, displays on the left side of the element. The property editor shows that it is set to right align, but the only way I can get the value to align at the right is to make the element writable, then enter into it and exit again. Then the value right aligns. However, once I change it back to read only, all the stored values align at the left again.

	FYI, I have Money elements set up the same way (read only - not grayed out). Mine stay right aligned.

	Carl, does your element populate with programming?

	Is Breakout_Total perhaps the first element that focus would appear in when the form is opened? Are you calling ThrowFocus and specifying the Breakout_Total element? -Ray

	Thanks Ray, I do think it is a focus issue, although nothing throws focus to that tab or that element. Sometimes it's right aligned, sometimes left. Here's a situation: If I do a search for records which have a value greater than 0 in that field, the results display left aligned. However, if I search for those records using other criteria, the display is right aligned. Gremlins? In any case, it's not really important, as long as the number is correct. I'm sure my users will never even notice the alignment either way. Thanks for your help. Update: It's definitely focus related to my retrieve spec. Here's what's happening: when I enter the field to put my retrieve spec into it, it automatically left-aligns my entry. If I then Hit F10 without exiting the element the results are left aligned. However, if I exit the element, the spec switches to right-aligned, and the results display that way as well. So, case closed, I'm doing it to myself. Thanks again.
