Thank you, Bruce. I thought 'set Echo on' would do the same, but sometimes it isn't specific enough.

The initial time spent learning TRACE, applied in precisely the manner he suggests, pays dividends in orders of magnitude. As an aside – anyone? - a focused on-line TRACE class would be one amazing add for R:Base programmers. Best of luck, Bruce ChitieaSafeSectors, Inc.eCondoMetrics909.238.9012 cell From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Javier Valencia Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 8:58 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Embedded eep on a variable edit field Patti,There is no need to guess where the problem is. We have a wonderful tool in TRACE that allows you to execute your code one line at the time and you can find exactly where your problem is.Every code I write I place the following command at the top:DEBUG SET TRACE ONWhen I need to debug code, at the R> prompt I enter the command:SET DEBUG ONAnd when I run my code it goes automatically into the debug mode. When I am done debugging I simply:SET DEBUG OFFand the code runs normally. It is a great tool to figure out if your code is running as designed and in the correct sequence, and when you run into an error/warning, it will display it for you so you can correct it accordingly. You can also display variable and it will show changes in real time.

I think the "Skip to" commands were causing the problem.

Also changing to the PROPERTY command as Karen suggested is nice.

I just used an If statement because I'm testing for anything below 12 or ge 12.

James Belisle Making Information Systems People Friendly Since 1990 [cid:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Patti Jakusz Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2015 2:37 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Embedded eep on a variable edit field I'm trying the embedded eeps in an object instead of calling an external eep, for pretty much the first time. I have a variable edit field. It's the 3rd field on the form, but since the other two are radio groups, it skips over those and goes right to the variable edit field. I "get" why it does that. But I get an error message when I try to leave the variable edit field, and again eveytime the cursor lands on it. (happens a lot when I'm testing other things.) Here's my eep, that is executed upon leaving the field: if vine01ed < 12 then property BiiAdd_INE01GED visible 'true' property BiiAdd_e1a visible 'true' skip to INE01GED else property BiiAdd_INE01GED visible 'false' property BiiAdd_e1a visible 'false' skip to vine04ed endif return The error messages I keep getting are: -ERROR- No WHILE, SWITCH or IF blocks are open on current input source. ( 466) Switching input back to keyboard It actually makes the other fields appear or disappear ok. But why the error? Thanks, Patti
