I use the PEMSTATUS() command to verify existance of an object/property:

IF PEMSTATUS(thisform,"cmdSuchAndSuch",5)
  *** The object is valid
ELSE
  *** The object does not exist
ENDIF

If you try to use VARTYPE() it will fail if the object does not exist. TYPE() will work -- it will return "U" if it does not exist.
