I've got a work around, but was wondering why this does not work. Using most recent release. I have a form with a DBEdit, component ID DBENumcol. For the next field in the tab order I have an on entry eep that says GETPROPERTY DBENumcol TEXTVALUE 'vnumcol'. (vnumcol is predefined in on before start eep in the form with a NULL value). When I run the form, vnumcol does not evaluate, it remains null. I've tried dotting the variable name - that didn't work either. Incidentally, when I use Rstyle to check the eep it says "not a valid command: GETPROPERTY". But, I pasted it right from Rdocs. Am I using this in the wrong way?
