Thank you, Doug.  I may try this.

  Good idea, Javier.  I also place a SET TRACE OFF before each RETURN.
 And, to make it easier, I place a small (30x30) transparent enhanced speed 
button (ComponentID = CIDDeBugButton) on forms that allows me to toggle DEBUG 
on and off; it is password protected.

 The On-Click EEP is a RUN SELECT so it can used on any form:
 --Debug EEP for all forms
 SET VAR vDeBugPW TEXT
 IF vDeBugPW <> 'whatever' OR vDeBugPW IS NULL THEN
   DIALOG 'Enter password or click Cancel to continue.' +
    vDeBugPW=8 vEndKey  PASSWORD +
    CAPTION 'Start Debug' ICON Stop
 ENDIF

 IF vDeBugPW = 'whatever' THEN
   IF (CVAL('DEBUG')) = 'On' THEN
     SET DEBUG OFF
     PROPERTY CIDDeBugButton CAPTION ' '
   ELSE
     SET DEBUG ON
     PROPERTY CIDDeBugButton CAPTION 'Debug On'
   ENDIF
 ELSE
   CLEAR VAR vDeBugPW
 ENDIF

 RETURN

 For added security, I suppose you could clear vDeBugPW before RETURN, but then 
you'd have to re-enter it to turn debug off.

Patti, There is no need to guess where the problem is. We have a 
wonderful tool in TRACE that allows you to execute your code one line at the 
time and you  can find exactly where your problem is. Every code I write I 
place the following command at the top: DEBUG SET TRACE ON When I need to debug 
code, at the R> prompt I enter the command: SET DEBUG ON And when I run my code 
it goes automatically into the debug mode. When I am done debugging I simply: 
SET DEBUG OFF and the code runs normally. It is a great tool to figure out if 
your code is running as designed and in the correct sequence, and when you run 
into  an error/warning, it will display it for you so you can correct it 
accordingly. You can also display variable and it will show changes in real 
time.     Javier,    Javier Valencia, PE O: 913-829-0888 H: 913-397-9605 C:

they were set up ahead of time.  I think the "Skip to" commands were causing 
the problem.          Thank you though.   Patti          From: Buddy Walker

 Are all variables set before entering form, if so are they being cleared once 
form executes

 Using the rstyle to see where the error is, should help you figure where you 
are breaking the code.
 Also changing to the PROPERTY command as Karen suggested is nice.

 Hi Jim,
 No, there's no Switch or Case.  I just used an If statement because I'm 
testing for anything below 12 or ge 12.

 Is this EEP located in a SWITCH or CASE part of your code?

 Subject: [RBASE-L] - Embedded eep on a variable edit field

 I'm trying the embedded eeps in an object instead of calling an external eep, 
for pretty much the first time.

 I have a variable edit field.  It's the 3rd field on the form, but since the 
other two are radio groups, it skips over those and goes right to the variable  
edit field.  I "get" why it does that.

 But I get an error message when I try to leave the variable edit field, and 
again eveytime the cursor lands on it.  (happens a lot when I'm testing other 
things.)

 Here's my eep, that is executed upon leaving the field:

 if vine01ed < 12 then
     property BiiAdd_INE01GED visible 'true'
     property BiiAdd_e1a visible 'true'
     skip to INE01GED
 else
     property BiiAdd_INE01GED visible 'false'
     property BiiAdd_e1a visible 'false'
     skip to vine04ed
 endif
 return

 The error messages I keep getting are:
 -ERROR- No WHILE, SWITCH or IF blocks are open on current input source. ( 466) 
Switching input back to keyboard

 It actually makes the other fields appear or disappear ok.  But why the error?

 Thanks,
 Patti
