Matthew, So in a program file -- before you load the form with an EDIT or ENTER or BROWSE command -- you are setting the variable?
Then just do this: In the "On Before Start" EEP, be sure the variable exists, and is not cleared or changed from what your external program put in it: SET VAR vCaption TEXT In the "On After Start" EEP, use your PROPERTY command: PROPERTY RBASE_FORM CAPTION .vCaption That works for me.
