It happens all the time when you copy and paste as the “copy” grabs the 
trailing blank and “pastes” it to the Component ID. I have been bitten by this 
before and now religiously check to ensure there is no trailing blank.

I sent a "bug report" to RDCC because I was unable to get PROPERTY <component> 
EDITMASK <mask> on an eep on entry to a postal code/zip code DBEdit on a form. 
The eep was firing, but the format mask was not changing.

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!

Bill
