Please go into each field, delete and then re-type the last character until the background of the field is white again.

Such characters would include: !, ', *, %, ( ), etc. While we have accounted for some of the more common ones, there may be a few uncommon ones that could trigger the system. If this is the case, please let us know what characters are being used.
