I've seen Naomi post.

I've spend a while why I could not reproduce (I've tried with my normal stuff.)

After I've gone back to a plain form I was able to reproduce it.

What I have done other then a standard form is: my standard for forms is BINDCONTROLS = .F. For that the object does not look for the controlsource while instantiating. If I set BINDCONTROLS = .T. later on you get something (more) meaningfull like VARIABLE (fieldname) not found in the moment it kicks in. Still not pretty well, but since a Controlsource could be a variable I can live with.

IOW the error means: The object fails due to a wrong controlsource, returns .f. on init and the form complains. Not a nice way.
I think BINDCONTROLS = .F. must have saved my day many times. :D
