Bob, Are you using 7.6? Going out on a limb here. 'M1Grader1|RBASE_FORM' has 20 characters 'Grader|RBASE_FORM' has 17 charachters.
I know that in 7.6 and less that variable name length is limited to 18 characters. Probably the same thing here in the PROPERTY command.

I have a command in a form eep: PROPERTY 'M1Grader1|RBASE_FORM' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' That returns an error : Error - Component M1Grader1|Rbase_Form not found in current form. After a couple of hours trying to figure this out, I changed the name/alias of the form to 'Grader" and changed the Property command to : PROPERTY 'Grader|RBASE_FORM' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' All works fine. I changed back to the M1Grader1 and the error returns. Is there a list of reserved words or characters for the MDI form property? I am running now OK, but I would like to avoid this in the future.
