The fields are obviously still there and running "put the num of flds of this cd" into the message box returns "18" Yet only one field shows in the Application browser.  The field that does show is not in a group.  I've tried trashing the preferences file and reinstalling rev.  I was hoping not to deconstruct and rebuild the groups.  Has anyone else run across this? Thoughts?

Check the settings for the group in the Inspector. rev 4.0 introduced
a new group property called selectGroupedControls. If this is set to
true (or checked in the Inspector), then the individual members of the
group will not be listed in the Application Browser.

This doesn't explain why you can't hilite any text in the fields, but
check the group settings and see if anything there fixes that too.

HTH,
