dotted always for the variable that actually holds the param value. The normal var rules apply AFAIK.
eg. set var vObjectAndParam = ' TEXTVALUE ''This Text''' Thus: Property <ComponentID> &vObjectAndParam would yield: Property <ComponentID> TEXTVALUE 'This Text' So far, I haven't experienced anything different. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David M.

Should it be a dotted, an ampersand or a non_dotted vintVar? My logic tells a dotted .vIntVar.

I am unable to use a PROPERTY ... TEXTVALUE command to "null out" a DBEdit that is based on an Integer column. It ignores TEXTVALUE '', TEXTVALUE ' ', your (char(160))... It will only put an actual value in there, such as a '0', but this breaks a constraint I have on the field. Has anyone been able to null out an integer DBEdit on an integer field? Razzak, should we be able to do this?
