>I am tring to gear my app toward local variables and properties. But I have a timeing problem. I send a variable to a form with a lParameter, the lParameter value is then assigned to ThisForm.abc(a form property). So far so good. In this same form I have a richtextbox that is populated from a general field. The init event of the box points to the data to display. This event code uses the form property value which is not ready when the init of the control fires. Can someone help?

Can you move a code from the richtextbox Init to the custom method on the form and call it from the Init of the form?
