In the load event here's a snippent of what exists. Could this be the issue? How should it be addressed?

mappapp_date = mquerydate
mfield2 = "D_"+dtos(mappapp_date)
mfield3 = "D_"+dtos(mappapp_date+1)

mheader2 = substr(mnamfield2,9,2)+"/"+substr(mnamfield2,7,2)+"/"+substr(mnamfield2,5,2)

The following exist in teh click event of a command button.

thisform.label1.caption = "Summary Appointments, All Doctors"....
thisform.grid1.column2.header1.caption = mheader2
thisform.grid1.column3.header1.caption = mheader3


Interesting, it compiles and runs form well, but gives me the error messor only when opening the form from teh command window using the Modify Form command.

Thank you for your time Mark.
