I'm trying to perform what should be a simple browse of a filtered database. My syntax is

IF !EMPTY(Thisform.propertyname)
SET FILTER TO = Thisform.propertyname
GO TOP
ELSE
SET FILTER TO
GO TOP
ENDIF

IF !mupdate
BROWSE NOAPPEND NOEDIT NODELETE LAST
ELSE
BROWSE LAST
ENDIF

I get the message "Object is not contained in a FORM" before the browse window opens and my filter condition is ignored.

When I suspend, the debugger shows that the error is occurring at the BROWSE command line.

I'm using tables and not databases. If I comment out the SET FILTER commands and just issue the BROWSE command by itself, the browse window opens without the error message.

Any ideas?

TIA
