Problem setting value to edit item

Hello

I have a problem when setting the value to an edit item that it's tied to a UDF that I created in the Invoices table.

When I set the value that I read from a recordset the edit box remains empty.

I have tried many ways of setting it:

pappl.forms.item("").items.item("").specific.value

pappl.forms.item("").items.item("").specific.String

edit.String

edit.Value

and neither of them worked. They work sometimes, but half of the times the edit box remains empty. The rutine doens't trow an exception, it just sets "" to the box.

Does anybody know how to fix this? or work around it?

Thank you very much
