This is way old skool/noxymo app. It will be converted next year.
And I have been running a custom QueryPage, to custom propertyKey picker, to 
listPage with button to a POI export to Excel.

I was just trying out ERExcelLook in this app.... In my other wonder D2W apps, 
it works like a charm! Anyway, I will go back to my old design.

Anyway..... in my propertyKeys list array, I put in the fake ones... so I guess 
it thinks it is a key path off the EO and barks at me.

Could you please spare a rule sample you used with non-EO Properties off the EO?

Thanks
James
