Norman,
I'm assuming you've checked with the debugger or otherwise and the property DOES contain the correct value. If so, then try this:

cDBF = thisform.cChildTable

select (cDBF)

This moves the information into a variable, so that the SELECT command can find it correctly.

>HI everyone..
>Well I have been helped on this topic previously but I am still having trouble. What I have right now is a class with added properties which are used for passing in Field and table names. These properties are made public and used inside the class as local parameters. The problem I am having is that when I use this class and fill in the table and field names in the property dialog box they dont get passed to the class. The only property values I see are the ones changed in property dialog box when the class was created. Please tell how do I get the class to read the property values. I am using SELECT (cChildtable) to select a table name which is being passed in as a property value but it is giving an error? PLEASE HELP???
