>I set REPORTBEHAVIOR 90 and Execute When to "Render" (I am trying to change the colors of a rectangle). I have dropped WAIT WINDOWs, MESSAGEBOXs and STRTOFILEs () in the code to see what is happening. Sometimes they fire and some times they don't. I have never succeeded in getting the rectangle to change color.
