Hi Al.

I have tried some of your suggestions to no avail.

However I have gone further and found the problem.
I take a CSV file and create a table with field names based on the CSV header record.
I then go and map the label field names to the CSV field names.
Then I use the following code to change the field names in the table...

IF LOWER(THISFORM.lcName) <> 'name'
	IF THISFORM.lcName = 'Nothing' OR THISFORM.lcName = ''
		ALTER TABLE (temp1) ADD COLUMN name c(70) NULL
	ELSE
		ALTER TABLE (temp1) RENAME COLUMN (THISFORM.lcName) TO 'name'
	ENDIF
ENDIF

...in development THISFORM.lcName has a correct value and the code after the ELSE is executed, however within the EXE, THISFORM.lcName has lost its value and runs the code prior to the ELSE.

Still trying to work out why the form property should lose its value while staying within the form.

Thanks
