Bob, Have you properly defined the variables to be filled from the GetProperty command BEFORE using them with the getproperty command?
I can assure you you CAN get the value of a componentID in the onRowEntry EEP of a table. Here is my EXAMPLE: set var vTEXT TEXT = Null Getproperty dbeMainName TEXTVALUE 'vText' set var vMsg TEXT = (.vText & 'On Row Entry Fired') Pause 2 using .vmsg Return Even though the variable vText was defined JUST prior to its usage for the example, I normally [and good practice] define ALL variables in the onBeforeStart eep. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob > Thompson > Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2014 4:22 PM > To: RBASE-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: On Row Entry EEP > > It seems to be the GetProperty command.
