Razzak, Thanks for that. I too have had some property 'errors' recently in code that has 'worked' for years so I will check my spelling etc. and use the CHECKPROP option.

Prior to the official release of R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (Update 5), any invalid or mistyped PROPERTY/GETPROPERTY "property" keywords were ignored and no validation was performed to identify the invalid "property" value used. Did you know that PROPERTY and GETPROPERTY command errors can now be displayed if a "property" value is invalid? This enhancement applies to both forms & reports. Syntax: SET CHECKPROP ON/OFF The default value is set to OFF. A simple example to illustrate the use of this new setting: Let's say your form On After Start EEP includes the following code: PROPERTY <ComponentID> VISBLE 'FALSE' RETURN Notice the misspelled "VISBLE". The valid keyword however is "VISIBLE". Before, this was ignored and the property keyword was never validated. The users will report this as a bug, because the PROPERTY command doesn't work. Really? Using the latest Version and Update 5 of R:BASE eXtreme 9.5, Build: 9.5.5.20109: SET CHECKPROP ON (the DEFAULT is set to OFF) Now if you run the form with same misspelled property keyword, you will get an -ERROR- Property 'VISBLE' not found in component <ComponentID> or the assigned value is invalid. This new setting will help you to revisit your code so that you can correct the syntax as well as use a valid property command without wasting valuable time of members of the eXpanded R:Dream Team to debug your forms and reports, etc. Note: The errors are only displayed if a new operating condition CHECKPROP is set ON. (CVAL('CHECKPROP')) Returns the current status of CHECKPROP setting. SHOW CHECKPROP Displays the current status of CHECKPROP setting. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
