Trevor -

I've seen references that the brackets are enough to serve as quotes - it works either way for me. That's not the problem.

Quotes or no quotes - I've found one can't save a custom property with a name of an existing regular PROPERTY in the same object without problems -- unless of course the quotes appear in the name...

custom props with names like name, title, tabstops, html ,etc. will cause trouble in various ways -

Try it - won't work in the properties inspector or from script. It will seem to have been entered, but reading back the prop name will display the regular property rather than your custom one...or just nothing.

Not knowing this has caused hours of weirdness, because there is no error reporting on custom prop activity.

Reserved words aren't part of the properties system, but I've become suspicious of using them. Another reason to use standard naming conventions I guess.

Stephen,

You can reliably use reserved words with array notation as long as you have quotes around the key (I've never tried without quotes actually).

I use code like this all of the time:

set the uAutoEvents["MouseUp"] of myObject to "DoSomething"

Perhaps it is the lack of quotes that is causing problems?
