Hi Claudio,
The code I tried was pretty much what you have listed, I tried it both ways, I'm assuming that your click method is from a command button. In my application the method attached to the button did not recognize the memory variable m.??? . By the way, if you declared the memvar in the load method, why do you have to do it again in the init method? Does the scope of the variable change if you declare it in both methods? I will try the code again this evening.
