Michael,
Close.  Property commands must be issued when the form is open, which means they need to be included in an EEP on the form.  In the form properties, eep tab, there is an ON AFTER START eep.  Try putting your property command there and it should work fine.

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

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
