>Hello Marcia
I was passing a parameter to a form and testing it in the load and init methods, in both cases the debugger showed the property as a local variable. I don't know why. I did solve the problem by simply declaring a public variable in the init method to handle the parameter, and the rest of the methods in the form had access to it.
