I know this is a thread from last week or so, but GETPROPERTY still doesn't work for me in this EEP:

TRACE
GETPROPERTY CIDTaxKey TEXTVALUE 'vfTaxKey'
RETURN

CIDTaxKey is the ComponentID of a DBEdit for text column TaxKey in the table CustList.
vfTaxKey is defined as text = null before the form is called.
RStyle says "(7) Not a valid command: GETPROPERTY" Gimme a break, I copied it from the RDocs clipboard!
I double-checked the componentID - no hidden spaces, even the casing matches.
I tried with and without quotes around 'vfTaxKey'
The form is a one-table form with a bunch of DBEdits and a DBMemo.
I've tried the EEP as an On-After-Start form EEP, On-Row-Entry table EEP, and as an On-Entry-Into EPP in the first field of the form.


Code to call the form is:
EDIT USING CustMaint +
WHERE &vWhere ORDER BY TaxKey


There is a DB Navigator control on the form and when I use the Next and Previous buttons, vfTaxKey evaluates properly as an On-Row-Entry table EEP after the first row.

I also tried a PROPERTY TABLE CustList REFRESH per the "Update row in form" thread (getting desparate or what?)

How do I get it the value of TaxKey in the very first row before user edits the form?
