[RBASE-L] - PROPERTY command form Forms control seems to need another step

[Michael Moser]

Hi All, (Sorry about the subject-less message - I got a little trigger happy on the the send button)   I must be missing something when trying to use the R:Base 7.1 Property command.   I have a form named "AskQuestion" with a Variable Memo field.  The Variable Memo has been assigned a Component ID of "CQ" and a white background.   The document seems to say that if I simply include the following commands, the background should be changed to red.   PROPERTY CQ COLOR 'RED'  EDIT USING AskQuestion    Similar examples are given in the help files and the pdf documents but it does not work so I must be missing a simple step someplace.  I even tried putting the PROPERTY command in an entry eep for the form but still no luck.    Thanks, Michael   Michael Moser EXAQ Micro Services www.exaq.com Phone: 916-966-8313 Fax: 916-966-8313
