Diane,
We do not judge the questions around here. I would suggest this: SET VAR vsomevariable = '123 Greenway Drive' RECALC VARIABLES RETURN The RECALC VARIABLES will cause the display to refresh with the new value.

Let's say I have a variable on my form named "vsomevariable" with the Component ID OF "Some_Component_ID". Which of these two commands is preferable to use to set the value of that variable on the form? SET VAR vsomevariable = '123 Greenway Drive' or PROPERTY Some_Component_ID TEXTVALUE '123 Greenway Drive' Or does it matter? Is there ever a time when the TEXTVALUE of Some_Component_ID is not equal to variable "vsomevariable"? Same question for GETPROPERTY and SET VAR vanothervariable = .vsomevariable .
