Yes...

I get an error if I run the count statement on a table that does not have an IRegion field. I had also created a contact table with an IRegion field, and *was* getting "Variable 'LNREGION' is not found" error.

But, now things have changed.

I closed all tables, and reopened contact table, and now I do *not* get the error in the command window. I ran Michel's test case *several* times, and the error was firing every time. Now, since I closed tables and reopened, the error method is *not* firing.

Very weird.
