More info on cachedupdates problem.

I thought maybe the problem was caused because I had not yet applied
the updates. So I applied the updates. The problem got worse. When
I brough the record back up on some records all of the descriptions
were cleared, on others the description fields were still there.
Then the problem got even worse. I have the description field
ordered. When I click on the grid title to order the column the
description field in all 50 records goes to blank. I then thought
that since the description field was readonly maybe that had some
connection. I changed the field to NOEDIT. The problem is gone.
All works fine. If I set the field back to READONLY, the problem
reappears. I suspect there is some strange bug with cachedupdates
and readonly fields.
