Using DBCX, I put in the following two lines:

ometa.dbcxcreateprop("ADNewProp","oCoreMgr","AndysNewProperty")
? ometa.dbcxgetprop("property","table","ADNewProp")

And it gave me the result .NULL.

So (having spent 5 hours going through source code) I tried this instead:

? ometa.dbcxgetprop("property","table","DNewProp")

which works just fine.

Now, why is it stripping off the first character before it does the search?
And if this is the standard, why doesn't it add on an initial character when
it creates the field?

I'm awfully confused (and exasperated).
