Trace by itself throws an error. If you want to invoke trace precede it with Debug like:
Debug Trace Then set debug ON... When I am developing / debugging, I put an enhanced speed button on the form in an out-of-the-way location and have an eep that toggles DEBUG state ON or OFF and change the caption on the Button to reflect the current State of debug. This allows the proper use of TRACE when I want it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lawrence Lustig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBG7-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 9:21 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: GetProperty doesn't work >> 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 > >> How do I get it the value of TaxKey in the very first row before user >> edits the form? > > Your syntax appears to me to be exactly correct.
