No it didn't help ,just some forums on ODK have got bugs from time to time ,as you mentioned AVB , text ends up as one continual line of text and editing says expired if you try to edit.
It just frustrating when you are use to professional forums.
Thanks to everyone that responded. I now have what i need.
Kindest regards,
Dexter
Glad you were able to decipher the jumble up mess it posted.
