And to make me even more ashamed and ever so greatly grateful - I just
received a note from them that they are changing the engine in the next
update to automatically TRIM component ID's to prevent the problem from
ever occurring again.
It isn't every software vendor that will dunce proof their product.
And yes, Bill, it sure was a bear to track down. I really don't know how
the heck they found that.

I sent a "bug report" to RDCC because I was unable to get PROPERTY

They very properly chastised me politely for wasting their time
when the problem was that I had assigned a component ID with a
trailing space. The eep did not work because 'cSponsorZip' is not
the same as 'cSponsorZip '
I am now going over every component id in every form and making
sure I have no trailing spaces.
Thanks to RDCC staff - they are great people, and I am ashamed
that I did not identify the simplest problem.
Albert,
That's a killer trying to track down, isn't it!
