Ali,

You can also 'fool' the designer by adding double quotes around your code so that it will produce the appropriate generated code:

"+IIF(myVariabl = .T., "Filter", "Remove Filter")+"

Then when the menu code generates, it will produce code such as:

DEFINE BAR 1 OF shortcut PROMPT ""+IIF(myVariabl = .T., "Filter", "Remove Filter")+""

which is legitimate syntax.

When I put this in the prompt box in shortcut designer I get the following error:

DEFINE BAR 2 OF shortcut PROMPT "IIF(myVariabl = .T. , "\<Filter", "\<Remove Filter")"
