Running Design V 7.6.0.8990 on Windows 2008 R2. (Remote customer)
I also run Design V 7.6.2.9999 on my laptop on Windows 10.

In either case, if the document uses any form of UDE, the data pane will NOT display data in the pane. Even when I open the data pane, I don't get any display. Why?

Is your data containing NULL characters or other CONTROL characters?

If you look at the data in Line Printer, does it show?

I figured it out...The document was using User Define Emulation AND setting Metadata variables...according to the manual, this doesn't work. I've modified the document to use LinePrinter emulation. Thanks!
