What is the value for loptinfieldobject.csignatp in both environments?
You could track this down to see why you're not getting an expected
value in the EXE environment. 

You can also make the code much more bullet-proof by making sure
lnentrynum is getting either the desired value or a useful default, such
as:

If Empty(lcEntry)
 lnentrynum = 1   
Else
 lnentrynum = Ascan(This.acsignatp, lcEntry)
Endif


However, I have no love affair with having to perform (potentially a
bunch of) validation tests on internal control values (not incoming
data, but control values being passed as parameters or object properties
between processes). I feel the correct way to make these situations
bullet-proof is to insure that properties are initialized with useful
defaults in the first place, and that any process that changes them does
not screw them up. 

I'm elaborating because there was a recent discussion on validating
passed parameters, which is akin to this situation. In both cases, it
can result in redundant and unnecessary logic to go through all kinds of
checks on these types of values every time they are accessed. Better to
just set them correctly in the first place and then keep changes to them
valid at the time they are changed.

As this applies to this example, the acsignatp property wouldn't be set
to logical .F. in the first place, and that would prevent this code from
failing.
