On my previous post I had a typo, the command line should have been: PROPERTY vci_upd_sign ENABLED 'FALSE'
Minus the "T" in front of FALSE. I did have it correct in my actual code.

When you copy items from the Data Dictionary, it always adds a blank space at the end, which is nice if you are building a command line, but not so nice if you are copying it to a component ID. It is the first thing I check if a Property command is not working. Last night I was working on a form and I had the following command line: PROPERTY vci_upd_sign ENABLED 'TFALSE' I would trace the code and the command would execute but the bit button would not get disabled. I created a duplicate Enhanced Speed button with the same results. I tried running the form from the Explorer (instead of the designer mode) with similar results. I was ready to send a question to the board but I decided to copy the component ID from my command line and paste it to the buttons component IDs making sure, once again, that there was no trailing blank space. The component ID seemed identical to the original; however the code with the PROPERTY command started to work...go figure...Maybe the component ID was corrupted and had some non-displayable characters that were corrected when I copied a fresh version of the component ID. I have gotten this type of error a few times, where code would not work and then started working after I reconnected the database or re-started the session. I am using Windows 7 and all the versions were installed using the R:Base installer and upgrader using the default settings, so I am pretty sure I don't have any stray DLLs. You might try disconnecting/re-connecting your database or restarting the R:Base session, or re-starting your computer and seeing if it helps. I don't recall having this type of issues in Windows XP.

I need it for multilingual apps.
