fORM bUTTON BEHAVING DIFFERENTLY ON DIFFERENT COMPUTERS

[jrupert]

I have a form (JMR-1.jpg and JMR-2.jpg attached) where when selecting the Insert NDI button, different results are happening.

The execution is that when selected, a mtext object should be inserted at a user prompted location.  JMR-1.jpg shows proper results.

On other computers sometimes only the first 5 or 6 characters are displayed and on another computer the backslashes are not displayed along wit the first character after the backslash.

Could this be a font issue?  Does anyone have a clue as to where to start in resolving this issue?

Thank you in advance!

CODE:

    (setq dwgPath (strcat (getvar "dwgprefix") (getvar "dwgname")))

    (setq d (rtos (getvar "CDATE") 2 6)
          yr (substr d 3 2)
          mo (substr d 5 2)
          day (substr d 7 2)

Mtext control codes are preceded with a backslash. You'll need to escape your backslashes, else valid character combinations will be interpreted as control codes.
