John: I might be missing something...I do not understand why you would want the EEP to run when you open the form designer, it should run (and it does) when you run the form, even if you do it from within the designer. IMHO, nothing should run when you open the designer as it could have unintended consequences. Javier,

I tried it using run and it works properly. I wish it worked the same way with designer. I thought I was doing something wrong.

I put them in the ON BEFORE START eep and they work perfectly. One thing you have to be aware of -- R:Base does NOT run that EEP when you open the form in the designer. Therefore, if the variables do not exist in the environment when you click Design Form, you must run the form inside the designer, using the Run button on the toolbar. -- Larry
