I have a picklist form that I receive an account# as a parameter in the forms init. I initially try to select tickets/set filter to tic_acct = tnacct(the parameter).

Then I realized that the filter is looked at each time the record pointer moves and the tnacct variable no longer exists. So, I tried creating a property on the form called acct. So from within init I set this.acct = tnacct and try to set the filter as set filter to tic_acct = this.acct but this doesn't work. I get the error property acct doesn't exist.
