That error means that you are doing a property call on something which does
not support it. It seems to be an engineering mistake, that it displays the
wrong error text, but that's what it means...
I can only guess at what's producing it...
So I'm guessing. so what.
there are a few places which could produce it
member("ass" & liColumnNum,
"Question").paragraph.[miPlayingParagraph].foreColor
could be that the variable liColumnNum does not exsist, rendering the member
reference useless, that the member does otherwise not exist (has not been
loaded yet), or that the "miPlayingParagraph" is not valid...
glConst.kiNoHilite
glConst is not a valid List variable or it does not contain a property by
the name you are referencing.
