Albert,

You are not a dunce for not being able to discover this.

I’m happy they are making that change.

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 <component>

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
