Douglas,

I checked my appearance project, where I regularly change to and from 
static, and found I had added this line:

>EDIT FIELD t%,,,_framedNoCR_usePlainFrame_noDrawFocus,_rightJust
EDIT FIELD 0
>EDIT FIELD (t%+1),,,_statFramed,_rightJust

Does that work for you?

Also, have you tried it without the _usePlainFrame_noDrawFocus? I suppose 
there's a chance they could be interfering. The ones in my project just 
switch between _NoFramed and _StatNoFramed, but that shouldn't make any 
difference.

HTH,

PS. One more thought--Are you certain you are referencing the right field 
numbers? It seems your numbering system could easily be off.
