Craig, Tnx, the reason I did the “do” stuff is because I wanted to programmatically vary the speed of the dissolve, initially, but it’s probably not necessary because most of the dissolves are the same. I have a pretty large app and I suspect there is some kind of timing problem because putting in a delay solved some of it. For me, the text fades in, then the field content disappears and leaves a white space where the field was. The background of the field is set to transparent, but I haven’t yet explored setting different options. I will do that today.
