SYMPTOMS
If you cut a field entry in Form View after applying a query, each
successive record will have that field entry deleted until the next record
from the query is found. If no other records match the criteria,
then all successive records have the entry cut.
For example, A query on the name John matches records 2, 3, 9,
and 15. If you click on the name John in Form View in record 3, then click
Cut, the entries in that field in records 4-8 will be removed
as well. If the name is cut from the Form View of record 15, all
successive records will have that entry removed.
WORKAROUND
Use Cut from List View after applying your query.
-or-
Use Clear Field Entry, rather than Cut.
STATUS
