I set all local form variables in the "On Before Start" EEP and clear all variables in the "On Close" EEP; in most cases, you can cut your defined variables in the "On Before Start" EEP and paste them on the "On Close" EEP so you don't have stray variable causing problems down the line. Javier,

I agree mostly, I always do in cursor loops. It's easier to debug if there's a problem and if I remember correctly, it wouldn't be optimized if I were to change the variable type in the middle of while loop. Honestly though, if I'm not going to need the actual value as text for something else - say as part of a pause message later in the code - I generally re-use the variable name. -----Original Message----- From: Albert Berry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 12:36 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Property problems Dawn, this retyping of variables may not be a good idea. If you do this inside a loop you can end up in trouble. I have taken to defining two variables, one for the text return and another for the actual datatype. Other than that my code would be identical SET VAR vpTestText TEXT = NULL Set var vptest CURRENCY Getproperty chpriceID textvalue 'vptestText' Set var vptest CURRENCY = .vptest PROPERTY ptestid textvalue .vptest --- Dawn Oakes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here's what I suggested David. > > >>Set var vptest text = null > Getproperty chpriceID textvalue 'vptest' > Set var vptest CURRENCY = .vptest > PROPERTY ptestid textvalue .vptest > > To convert the text variable to the data type of the field receiving > the property command. > Dawn > > -----Original Message----- > From: David M.
