Marc,

Thanks for the reply. It seems to have something to do with the data type I initially give the property. It defaults to logical. In the Visual Environment however, I can't find any way to Add a property and then change its data type.

Bye en groeten terug,

Sebastiaan,.

Now I can use the object anyway I want, but as soon as I want to use the contents of that property to do some text-editing (like doing a LEFT() or a LEN() function) I get an error message. I assume this is due to a difference in character data-types and object-property types.
