I have found that form expressions are much more reliable than
getproperty, and they work on all data types! I don't even mess
with getproperty. Don't think I have a single one in any app. It
seems like too much to remember -- do I quote the variable or not,
will it work with this type of control or not, what variable type is the
return variable.... Isn't it simpler to define a form variable?

apparently the problem lies elswhere.
the getproperty works after I enter data into the row, not before.
But the table is pre-populated with an order number and an autonumbered
sequence no.
As soon as I enter the 1st row, a right click brings up a listbox and I
select an item, then I want to insert this item number into the table using
the sequence number as the key. but getproperty won't give it to me at this
point.
If I manually type the item number, then on exit from that field getproperty
will return the seq no.
So shouldn't it be available as soon as I enter that row?
