Your syntax appears to me to be exactly correct.  I don't put TRACE in my EEPs
-- have you tried removing that?  In addition, just to ensure that I have the
component ID right in both places, I sometimes cut and paste from the property
screen for the component into the EEP -- and I sometimes find I forgot to put
any component ID at all on the component!

One final thing -- you mention that you are trying to get the value BEFORE the
user edits the row.  I think it should work the way you have it, but it might
be possible that the TEXTVALUE property is not populated until the row is
switched into EDIT mode.  So try adding:

PROPERTY TABLE YourTableName 'EDIT'

right before the GETPROPERTY command.
