Have you tried declaring your variable earlier in the game, like in the onAfterStart EEP? This is where I declare all form level variables with the least hiccups. Having said that, I just tested it: 1. not declaring the variable before using getproperty 2. declaring it just before using it (in a button eep for testing) 3. in the OnAfterStart EEP.
in each scenario, it was successful.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alastair Burr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBG7-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 6:21 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - GetProperty TEXTVALUE problem Please could somebody give me the definite method for getting the value of a DBEdit value using GETPROPERTY? I've tried defining the variable for the result first, not defining it, using quotes around the name - every variation that I can think of but I can't get it to work. This is my current version: CLEAR VAR vTemp SET VAR vTemp TEXT GETPROPERTY IDV_SelName TEXTVALUE 'vTemp' Thanks in advance, Regards, Alastair. ---------------------------------- A D B Burr, St. Albans, UK. ---------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------
