Hi Marcia

OK, I have dropped the search text box on my form.

In my current example I have a file called REPFILE.DBF, the search field is REPORTNO and the index tag is REPORTNO.

I then have added three properties to my form cALIAS, cFIELD and cTAG. In the Init of my form I say:

this.calias = "REPFILE"
this.cfield = "REPORTNO"
this.ctag = "REPORTNO"

When I run the form, the debugger stops at the synchronize procedure of txtsearch and points to the line:
.value = Eval(.calias + '.' +.cfield)

It seems that this.calias and this.cfield have no values.

Do I have to set these values somewhere else other than Init? Or is there something else I am doing wrong?
