Yes, chr(13) causes the error because it breakes a command in the macro substitution into 2 lines. VFP9 doesn't allow that anymore. It's not clear why do you need macro substitution in the first place.

m.cProp = "thisform.lblRoom.caption"
STORE m.cName TO (m.cProp)

>The chr(13) is what seems to be causing the problem since setting the caption using macro expansion works as long as there is no chr(13).
