Seeing a form caption of ".vcaption" usually would indicate that his variable is getting blown away somewhere. I use form captions all the time, regardless of variable or not. Use --form ON BEFORE START eep CLEAR VARIABLE vCaption SET VARIABLE vCaption TEXT = 'This is the Caption' --for ON AFTER START eep PROPERTY RBASE_FORM CAPTION .vCaption Just my nickle's worth (inflation).
